I disagree. Part of your argument involves bid bots. But how would you stop a bid bot? And what if a bid bot is doing exactly what a person would have done in upvoting and downvoting? Would you steal money from Facebook or McDonald's for making too much money? We may want to but the free market is about supply and demand. We should focus on making money. We can focus on upvoting what we think will make a lot of money. We could get mad if we lose the upvoting game when we find out that these other posts that we didn't upvote made a lot of money. I believe in trying to make a lot of money. A lot of people can be poor. Some people can become very rich. Some can try to get richer. That's life. It is the struggle, the fight upwards.
