Thank you so much! I was also wondering how the "personal voting option" for the steemplus extension plays a role in it? Light how much is the voice of a personal voter weighted against the api?

The data from SteemPlus is used to help form the training data that informs the API what spamming and bot accounts look like, so it can make estimates about the othr thousands of accounts that it isn't given a classification for. There are various other data sources as well as SteemPlus though.

Oh wow, great! Thanks for making that clear!
