If I post with a new account, 99% of it goes into the void. I had a few people like and boost my posts but they were still gone into oblivion within an hour or less. Not sure how that is appealing? It is like a popularity contest. Like those cliques in schools of the popular kids.

Democracy isn't that everyone is being forced to be of the same opinion. They don't vote for their actions, the hive mind overrides each personality with the overarching Borg characteristics, mean assimilation of every worthy race, eradication of danger. There is no individual left in this. If you think that is democracy or socialism then I don't know what else to tell you.
It seemed to be quite effective in influencing public opinion before elections. Which makes it even more disgusting to attach such a price tag to it.
