People will abuse the upvote bots because money and greed is involved. But there are people that try their best to produce good content and use the upvote bots b/c they wish to stay on this platform and gain monetarily just like the dolphins/whales.

But can anyone just place a regulation on services here? And if they do not like what is going on, downvote?

Not everyone that is using the upvote bots will see this post, so I guess they will eventually figure it out when they use the bot after 3.5 days... (And how was the 3.5 days determined???)
