I originally flagged this post for vote buying. The author claims their intentions are to alert the community to a problem. I am going to remove my flag and let the community decide.

        Are you saying he bought the 10 upvotes? I interpreted this post as being a 'whistle-blower' type of post, i was not aware that people was buying votes, and it will definitely cross my mind when evaluating future posts.

        I dont see a reason to flag/downvote this post, since the author is, in my opinion, informing the community about this type of abuse, rather than endorsing it. Issues like these demand attention, not only from the core developers, but from all of us.

          The author bought the votes from @steemitmarket in order to spam the 'hot' news feed algorithm. They claim their intentions are good, so I've removed my flag, and I'll step back and let others decide.
