Hello Sleepdeeper,

First of thank you for showing interest in my post! Secondly: yes, that is why there are many bots who acquire a lot of voting power, and then sell of their votes. The voting power can be acquired by people who are delegating their Steem Power for example. I do think that there is some cap preventing the earning if post are really old, not sure about that though.
