You are actually correct, it is "easily gamed" but it is up to the Community if we let this go on or not. You see, STEEMIT is a grand experiment in Self-Governance, and we must all band together and police ourselves. If we cannot do this, Steemit might fail and for sure, an Anarcho-Capitalistic future takes a BIG HIT, as this is so far, IMO, the largest scale trial of Self-Governance I have ever heard of. We have our own Money (steem) our own society (Steemit) and our own government... oops, wait a minute! No Government! No Rules! (almost) and NO POLICE! Well, we do have @berniesanders as the Sheriff! 😉 He needs Help, though. We all have to do our part! You have a relatively large upvote, and OOPS, you have actually been here longer than my "main account" ☺️ But at least I stand by my anarchocapitalist comments, and really think that we DO need to self-govern.
Nice to meet ya @conspiracy-guy
