Great post. I think there isn't really a way of controlling for bad actors other than not upvoting their content and downvoting the worst of it. We rely somewhat on those with more HP to lead the charge, but we can all play some part in promoting better content on here. Yet someone who buys their way to the top could theoretically rip off the rewards pool anyway. I think it is best to focus on what the platform can be for each of us, but also be willing to use our downvotes when appropriate.

Absolutely true. I mean, if we break our head around this, we can certainly find a better mechanism that leads to a better result. There is always room for innovation.
