The mighty issue of the paid for votes. I hadn't looked at that tab for a while. I think they should tweak the algorithm to discount paid for votes or something. Gaar, who knows. Good post man!

Thanks @meesterboom. You're a great example of someone who does a fine job. There are many more out there as well. Your efforts, my efforts, countless others(so many others!) shouldn't be second place to advertisements and promotions simply because that's not how this business works. We don't watch commercials, then get up to take a piss when the show comes on.
I know, people don't come to read posts that have been paid to be in the spotlight. They come for the talent in whatever form that takes. I had look at the two posts you mention and both had been severely bumped up. The worst is the gang mentality when something is perceived as popular them others vote for it merely because it's so. Pain in the arse
That false image misleading people to pile on stunts growth for hundreds if not thousands of other amazing contributors. The minnows seem to latch on, instead of paying attention to each other which in turn stunts their growth. The only reason they have zero votes on their work is because they don't see value in each other because they've been misled and encouraged to find popular blogs and get noticed. They are not getting noticed, just look at the comment sections under the paid programming posts. If everyone buys a handout that makes the handout the new zero, therefore, it's not helping, it's hindering. Amazing how one misstep can funnel all the way down like that. That's business though. The best way to lead is by setting a good example and making decisions that make life better for all staff. If those in charge only look out for their own interests, the business falls flat on it's face, every time. Now I'm rambling again.
They do. They swarm around posts that will garner them nothing in the hope that they will be noticed and rewarded whereas if they nwtworked and formed likeminded groups with peers and above or below they would do far better
You are a good rambler :O)
I just rambled more in my new vagina today. Whatever that means....
