It does take away the big business element, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Big businesses are big businesses because they know how to add value to the human race, something that most of the people who use this site have no idea how to do.

Instead, we have a free for all where people beg for upvotes and post shit content. With no guidelines for content that can be advertised on (because there is no advertising), the content on here has no reason to be good. Some people who have been here long enough still get upvotes from their friends who have lots of SP, but that's just a popularity contest. If you want to play that game then you're welcome to, it's just not for me.

If there wasn't the option to boost posts on here, I wouldn't be here.
