About the vote buying, not what I was saying, I mean those who buy votes generally end up with similar low effort content.

Okay yeah, but there's gotta be more proof of brain behind the rewards, or just send everything through beneficiaries to spendhbd than give authors any since they're already getting the benefit from the discounts - if that's then deemed feasible by the community in on the other hand is another thing but the post was mostly talking about the posts themselves.

My comment was meant to give some ideas and possible solutions such as how many actifit posts improved a lot after being incubated in ocd communities, spendhbd has been alive for quite a while now to just give it the "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" excuse. If the content/effort behind the posts getting rewarded the same has deteriorated to the point where people are downvoting and making posts about it, then maybe some changes are in order.

I'm personally still in favor of the idea and would welcome more experimental ideas that favor all stakeholders in the future.
