Have you tried the new Windows Terminal?

I think you are confusing the auto voter and the upvote. Auto voter is when people set their votes to automatically go out to someone without regard to reading or participating/engaging upon what was posted. Can people set their auto voter to upvote themselves? I do not know nor have come across any mention of such a tactic so far. Ultimately though it wouldn't surprise me if such could happen. (lol) Upvoting one's post usually (from what I understand) is done similarly to how people upvote others post manually either by hitting the upvote tab and/or if they have their slide bar they can set a percentage of their vote to go to any particular vote including to themselves.

Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.

I'm just sayin'.

I've been on some pretty low-budget forums where the upvotes have no monetary value, and even there you can't upvote your own posts or comments and they block multi-accounting based on your ip. And they have literally zero money.

That's the crux's of it all, on those other platforms there's measures in place in the first place that don't allow or minimize the avenues to abuse. The reason they don't here is the fact it is monetary based set up by greedy individuals who you can't deny didn't see the opportunities open for abuse but still implemented them. Not only did they allow their implementation but they used them to their advantage and still do. There is a lot that can be fixed but they won't because it's been too beneficiary, that is why I won't help slap one hand while the other hand still has their hand in the cookie jar unless I see blatant outrageous abuse or a situation where it's evident the pot is calling the kettle black....in those instances I don't mind calling it out but I am not going to be a participator in being punitive towards one while seeing the same behaviors excused for others.

Well stated.
