    Currently nothing but once activated they may start spamming stuff everywhere. Owners can decide what gets upvotes and what gets downvotes which gives you a lot of power on a platform where downvotes/upvotes mean everything.

      Still don’t get it - someone makes a comment, bots upvote it so it gets seen by more people. Not really going to change the world.

          Oh boy, I, for one, love the taste of Diet Coke, the perfect refreshing drink when you and your family watch my new movie, “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st.

            Companies advertising on here through AMA’s should also be prevented because it’s just advertising

        They don’t want to change the world. They want to let you know about hot singles in your area

        Yeah, but this can give you popularity and attention that people crave and it will be pretty damn useful in scamming others too.
