Well..
I'm sure one could conjecture that there is something wrong about the way you worked to win favor with the bid bot owners by being their #1 customer (subsequently taking more from the reward pool than anybody else) and, in turn, got some sweet witness votes is wrong.
If you ever become a top witness, mark my words. Somebody will fork this chain. Don't worry. We can leave the self-help guru cults on the legacy chain complete with the collusive vote selling corruption.
... Or maybe my brain is just wired wrong. ¯\(ツ)/¯
