I see stats saying that o only a small percentage of votes come from the boys, but they control a massive amount of the reward pool. We have efforts by groups like @steemflagrewards to deal with those who abuse them, but that's like pissing in the ocean. There's a short-sighted dash for cash going on. The blacklists should help, but it's clear most bots don't use them. Certain accounts that ought to care about their own reputation are selling votes to known and persistent abusers. They should be called out on this, and I've done so.
