Hey pretty new here and was wondering if you could elaborate on why people buy votes? By doing this their post would be seen by more people ( I assume) but wouldn't any money spent on buying votes be similar to any profit made on said post, making it seem rather pointless to me.
Currenty, people buy votes because they see it as a profit venture which they can skim a couple of bucks off the top whilst perpetuating this activity. The hopes are that the post sees more visibility from the boost, and some organic voting comes in.
I'm trying to argue that the attention economy is actually defined by people who spend money to get attention.
Thanks for the info mate!
