    If I ignore thenewgreen, should hubski reverse all his votes on pages that I see?
interesting idea, the question you raise is one that I think about often. Right now it hasn't been a problem but when Hubski grows and the riff raft get's in, it will be something we have to deal with. I have a feeling that we (users) would know if something was inexplicably popular.

Have you tried the new Caramel Coca-Cola? is not likely a comment that would receive a positive response on Hubski. Nor is "great". We also have the "spam" button that can be used. But that doesn't totally account for your concern.

A post can get all the "shares" in the world from someone getting payed .08 cents per "share" but if nobody follows that person, that's a waste of money. A post can have a full hub wheel from 20 dummy accounts and still, the only people that will see it will be the 20 dummies.

Comments though, that's a valid concern that needs some thought.
