There are some "famous" vote traders that I really don't need to name. I believe the more you're on trending the more people will scrutinize your work, it's only natural.
I just want to make sure that there is a clear line between people farming rewards with low effort content, vs people who upvote each other's high effort content. I don't want people to feel the need to walk on eggshells, make the post and let the chips fall where they may.
I take this approach as I feel comfortable enough with what I produce under my own scrutiny. If people vote or downvote, that is on them.
I am happy for people to promote, but they shouldn't profit directly, they should profit fromm selling their product to the market they promoted to.
