Yes that is true. But it is frustrating to see less good content get all the credits due to reputation and wealth. People getting tons for just posting 1 picture. And that is not just the bots doing. It is a unfair playfield to begin with. Only those who have any good content must be persistant to get recodniced and noticed. The trending sections of all categories shows mostly what whales share. People are just voting for the money not just bots.
