  1. Make two accounts
  2. Pay gold to your second account
  3. Super upvote for 10¢

This will definitely not get used to boost shit spammy content. Nope. Not a chance.

It's 90% cheaper than organic content.

One gold upvote costs $2, the recipient might get either $0.90 or perhaps $1. But most likely they’ll get nothing.
