Even before the vote selling, curation trails were upvoting their own bullshit to the top.

System will always have some problems. One problem will be replaced by another and potentially worse. If you read my blog, you will see I write about how to take money away from these bots. And I am against vote selling or SP delegation. If I do delegate, I will do it to a project which is non-profit or supporting a good initiative with the earnings.

Having said that, I won't use it on your posts. But you see for me there is no way I can reward someone with a meaningful vote without paying someone else to do it. At least for the time being.
