Content creators come to make money. They earn some. They automate upvotes and pretend to be consumers. The more money they keep in their wallet means they're better at pretending to be a consumer, and people like them. But that content creator isn't making any money, they're just holding on to money. The ones that noticed free money falls from the sky even when nobody is looking; they make money. Then the individuals making money are frowned upon by those pretending to care the whole time.

Solution:

Create content worth money and attention.

Attract consumers with money and attention.

Since consumers typically outnumber content creators on the internet, the result is stake being in the hands of the majority and content they actually want to support is their incentive to hold. Now the content creator can make money without being glared at. Plus everyone stops pretending what they're doing is a good idea, until they realize it's not but won't accept it. However, not all is lost. Acceptance creates desired results.
