I get the same feeling about the poker game analogy. I only vote for posts that I feel are good and others like myself would like. So I only make a few fractions of a cent, that and not enough time to invest. I hate when people say it's a slippery slope, but I think this is a perfect example of a slippery slope if we only vote for what's "popular". That's how Hitler's got into power... I also hate it when people compare things to Hitler.
