In all honesty i think that people that make shitposts are trying to collect ; but the people distributing upvotes ; and high value upvotes at that, are doing some good, they are giving a little bit of their power to the little guys and helping in a way, while i understand that its basically spam posting, he has invested quite a bit into the platform itself if he has an upvote that high .
So he might be doing something right, in a way - i feel like things like that are good for the beginners ; it would in itself bring more people into the platform looking for a quick buck yes, but those new people are teachable .
In respect to the upvoter ; i feel like if he enjoys content, or seeing small little replies to his posts then he should be able to upvote anything he sees fit, on the same hand, he has quite the supply for being a blogger, as his posts are quite long, it could be, in his eyes - a way for him to encourage people to read his posts .
Personally i think what he is doing is helping the platform in a way ; it could help people obtain more SBD and use it for something they wish to see bring engagement to the platform .

What about the part where he reward himself 5$ on his hundreds of "Thx" posts?
well, seeing as how he is collecting that ; i dont see him abusing his power - he is still upvoting other peoples coments ; if he puts his own money back in his pocket why should that matter, he is still engaged in getting content and replies - maybe you should get in on the replies and tell him how great of a job he is doing, maybe he will send you a decent upvote ; personally i dont see a problem with it - if his own upvote gets him in the hot page, fairly quickly - without having to spend SBD to get bots to upvote, or resteem why is that such a problem ?
the fact that upvoting replies ; even his own, can get attention on the platform getting it in the hot, or trending section is important, why would he spend SBD to bots, that wont even read his post, let alone actually engage in conversation ; but he is not just putting that on only his own, abusing his power and giving nothing back to the community - he is finding a medium between the two so that he can continue to enjoy his work .
