The very first feeling I got was:

"Oh, cool! This might be it. Perhaps this is the beginning for future upvotes too."

... A few seconds later I thought:

"Why would she reward me for being ironic...?"

I am glad and I appreciate the upvote and the rewards. I really do. However, it felt a bit odd. Especially that both of us, or all three in fact, received upvotes.

When I realized that, it hits me like a brick.

"One upvote could easily make me satisfied enough to stop my ironic posts.."

I am thankful but I am still jealous, just like I stated in my above comments earlier. I would love to have such delegation and vote-selling business too.

That being said, I do like her articles and she definitely deserve to be rewarded for her contributions. I'm just not comfortable with the insane rewards + the vote selling business combined.

Especially as the delegation were free of charge. At least to begin with. - That's basically to bite the hands that feeds you, and get away with it.

I might be wrong though.
