giving equal power to all users is in itself "arbitrary".

The shill bots and corporate/government shill machines use this arbitrary power structure against us. They create thousands of sock puppets and then they have the #'s and the power. How do we fight the shill machines and sock puppets? that is the question.

My suggestion was not arbitrary....it was a effort to create a metric that was correlated with demonstrated ability to interpret information better than others...a shill bot sockpuppet cannot interpret information at all....and if they do it is often maliciously. Early VOAT adapters are better than average at interpreting information in the modern media world. We saw censorship and detecting propaganda int he information war earlier than the average reddit sockpuppet of sheeplike. Giving a higher weight to entities that have this information proccessing skill is logical.
