I know this is two months late @ntbro, but the answer to your question is "bots". As you can see, this page only has 26 views, of which three were mine, yours and the creators. Yet, despite the small numbers of views, he received 50 votes.

All these votes came from bots which are gaming the system by voting on popular blogger to share in the reward pool, without ever reading the article.

At the same time, popular writers have discovered that they can write rubbish articles, and still get paid because of the bot voting.

All these bots are causing the quality of posts to fall.
