Vote sellers and the whales selling them SP rentals are welcome to think their conduct is not detrimental to the platform.
Steemit, Inc. is welcome to ignore the fact that the "trending page" on its flagship platform is dominated by (objectively) shit posting, which is in fact paid (crap) advertising that is not marked as such.
Users who disagree with the above state of affairs are welcome to highlight these issues by commenting on posts that receive large payout from vote buying.
I personally 100% support @transparencybot and can only say that I truly wish it was not necessary.
Much love - Carl
