Hello @inquiringtimes,
First things first, congratulations for writing abou this topic, this kind of things really upsets me, We are supposed to build a community here, how newcomers will get their voice, We should empower great content and not just build a market of votes, I mean, many guys will earn a bunch of money using voting bots, but this behaviors will broke the spirit we want.

All best,
@davidfumo
