It wouldn't matter if the submissions have full wheels. Only those who subscribe to the submitter and sharers will see the post. Unless the poster/sharers have a significant subscriber base, not too many eyes will fall on the article. So if anyone is thinking about monetizing their hubski activities, they must first start by building a huge subscriber base. In order to do that, he/she must contribute quality content. If he/she starts shilling out just for monetary compensation without care for content, subscriber base in theory will go down which makes his shilling less marketable and be worth less to the buyer.
