After reading through 's introduction post again, I noticed that the upvote you're getting on your post is determined by your own UA score and the UA scores of the people who have upvoted your post.
UA, as a Reputation / Influence metric, has quite some interesting applications.
utilizes one of them: since every Author Account has a UA score, so does every Post Voter. Instead of looking at the SP a Post Voter owns,
, our own Algorithmic Curation Service looks at the UA score of the Author and all its Post Voters. -- UA Introduction
Now, wouldn't this mean that you could basically manipulate the vote strength by purchasing votes from either SmartSteem or Minnowbooster? On SmartSteem for example, you can choose whether you want to receive more big votes or smaller votes.
I would assume that the accounts behind those bigger votes also have higher UA scores, so you'd be getting a higher vote from as well, since you have bought votes from accounts that have a (potentially) high UA score.
Am I missing something here or is it indeed possible that vote buying could affect 's upvote value?
