Ya know, I agree, but it unfortunately seems like a necessary evil in the community. At this point I don't really understand how people can succeed without them. I really don't like the fact that people can basically purchase reputation so to speak.

how can they purchase reputation?

Theres a bot called @booster where you can trade steemdollars for an upvote. The more steemdollars the higher the upvote. This bot is extremely powerful, at least for lower rep users like myself. But 1 vote can easily raise my reputation 1 or 2 full points which is kind of crazy.

reputation is logrithmic...the first few steps are fairly easy...the higher the harder..
