The hit parade is not about "rewarding" people, but to reflect what happens on the Steem blockchain.
Should some abuse the system, then we have a place to notice it.

Are you actually aware you are voting on these posts:

I'm just asking, as this project uses 1000s of keys from users to upvote their bot generated content.

I'm not voting for these posts.
I had only 1 vote on the post you mentioned, mainly because it was voted by one of my curation trail and it was not blacklisted (yet).

Anyway, thank you for triggering my attention.

It's just that vote farming distorts this reflection a bit...
I am doing my best to slow them down, and it has also been reported already...
