Confirmed!

The voting part is fun in a way but too few people got engaged in it and it was easy to game the system to get into Top5.

The upvoting part was link to my use of bid bots. I have never required people to upvote to be able to participate.
I’ve been using bid bots on these posts to boost earnings, so I’ve been able to payout more. So that is what I will stop with. 😀
