Make some extra cash by engineering non-diligent users!

1. Look for the accounts of whales and popular posters.
2. Change their names slightly in a manner that can be missed. Change craig-grant to criag-grant or better to craig-grannt, for example.
3. Submit stories and comment under as many posts as you can bother to. Try to keep the themes similar to that of the original posters you are emulating. Don't plagiarise! You don't want to attract negative attention. Keep it authentic!
4. Result: Non-diligent users from minnows to whales will rush to upvote your posts! Well, provided they are written in English.
You're not doing anything wrong right?
So my question is: how much would a whale pay for retrieving a fake account?
