    I just found out that those pages to buy votes exist, I knew that bots and stuff existed, but I thought it was something more “hidden”, from 4 cents per vote, it doesn’t surprise me that the site is completely going down the toilet

      In some impoverished regions, vote farming is an important (and sometimes only) source of some people’s income. Create account, upvote post, dozens or hundreds of times a day. They get paid slave wages, if at all.
