That's all there is to it. You are rendering quality content meaningless. When shitty, blurry, absolutely 100% non-creative cell phone photos are burying actual, professional quality imagery, something is very very wrong. And don't give me this "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" bullshit.
You have no originality that gets votes, so you're buying them. Seriously, fuck you.
And if you're selling votes, fuck you tenfold. You're ruining this platform by encouraging bribery.
