Bingo. There is no downside. They are almost forced to abuse once others are already abusing.
The rate of abuse is increasing, to my eyes, and that increase may speed up even more.

If it degrades into pure self-voting then I suspect it will all collapse as there will be value in the service
Who do you "trust" to tell you how much of the pool goes to abuse?
Either nobody knew about grumpycat, or the key people knew and didn't care. Either way, it makes the above question tough to answer, doesn't it?
Others have exposed this behaviour and it's obvious abuse when you see it. We have various tools that show who is getting a large share of rewards and so it's not too hard to investigate. Most of us don't dare to flag them, but there are those who will do it. It's just not enough in some cases.
