You have to stop being scared that you'll accidentally upvote something you think is spam, first of all, no content that a human gives a computer is spam, second of all, if a user abuses SOM, they get permanently removed, which means that the community can chill and stop worrying about who they upvote, their votes are distributed because of the SUPPORT they receive from the other party, not any specifics about our mental biases towards the words within the content.

The system is beneficial for all users, upvoted content isn't curated specifically because none of it is spam, its all content, and if there is any spam its reported and users are permanently removed, but only if its actual spam and not content. Your votes are used to help people not because of what they say, but because they help you.

That being said, it's the only voting trail that uses ledger technology, so if you go on holiday and cant vote manually, you come back with an overunity and receive that value in votes when you post, acting like a 'HP bank' for times when you're AFK, which is a vector that also aids to make it much-much fairer than nepotistic curated trails, and also way way fairer than paid upvote bots.
