Apparently, they are comparing this to eating grass. I'm a little skeptical of that statement, though. Grass-fed vs. grain-fed have wildly different outcomes for the health of the animal.
Same feelings here. I've only been doing it since it changed to being indefinite, not month to month. I've been making steady climbs, though. I was up to 42 on the leaderboard and after voting dropped down to 95. It's only motivated me to do better.
They do mention that part of their algorithm is if you're matched against someone higher and get upvoted over them, you'll receive more points. So if you're the higher rank and getting downvoted compared to someone lower, you probably lose more points.
On top of that, they are giving away money. Why shouldn't they get to choose who they give it to? Sure they could be a little more transparent if they are really manipulating that much.
