Forcing all profitable behavior into the light is just the curve making it difficult for exploiters to hide their farming or circle jerking activities in micro voted comments and avoid scrutiny and possible detection from free downvotes. Basically if you're farming 10c comments all day, you're losing so much money to the curve you might as well just vote honestly. That's the intended effect of the curve.

You may not be using the scheme in a content agnostic way, but the scheme itself is indifferent to how you use it. If someone sponsored a bunch of their own new alt accounts and produced dull but perfectly coherent content, they get to enjoy votes they effectively paid for; votes that wouldn't have gone their way otherwise and votes that are content agnostic. This is why I'm against the scheme.

Honestly improv, the best way to support an author you like is to just vote for them. Or you can send them a little bit of money if you wish, as a tip. Paying for them to get a vote either directly (eg bid bots) or indirectly (eg this scheme) usually results in some price that needs to be absorbed by the system. Please have a think about it.
