I have been here for about three months now and I can say that I've seen some content with so many upvotes that baffled me. Like some guy posts, "look at this youtube video I watched today" and gets like $50+ on that publication. Now, I'm not certain if those are alts upvoted by their other accounts or something but they always have the same pattern. Massive votes from the same accounts no matter the content or engagement. Maybe it's circle jerking and greed or just irresponsible auto upvotes. Either way, it doesn't leave a good look on the platform as a whole if many big accounts are doing the same thing.
Freedom doesn't free you from responsibility, it burdens you with it.
Well said.
