RE: Reputation Can Be Purchased Through Vote Buying - Does it Matter?
Yes, indeed. "Image management" as they say ;) Appearances can be fabricated, but normally the majority of people don't pay for their image/appearance to be created by someone else ;)
I don't have any data to cite, but it seems apparent that using bots on Steemit to boost your apparent reputation is far more prevalent than in meatspace. Orders of magnitude more common I think.
