With the recent controversy about the #Election2020, it occurred to me that cheating in a real election and creating bot accounts online are really the same thing: they touch on the so called "proof of human" problem.
This is a big deal in the #crypto world too.
Agree completely. It's a security hole in the system that exerts memetic evolutionary pressure to be righteous about not closing it. The post was meant as a tongue-in-cheek joke but does touch on a serious point - it would be better if the system never had that exploit.

Once it exists, the memetic evolution in the progressive religion happens and it becomes a marker for loyalty and group membership. It would be better from a governance standpoint to not import enough cheaply paid for clients but that's impossible once it's part of the religion.

"We agree you get to win all elections forever just don't do the things you would need to do to outvote us" would be an improvement on what we have now (but a marginal one)
