And yet we do have campaign managers with integrity and a good work ethic, who aren't required to do the job the way they do it, but who probably want to excel at their job because their reputations are at stake.  That's admirable, IMO.  There aren't many of those managers, however.

The main problem is the altcoin bounty managers who will accept pretty much anyone into their bounties.  I suspect those are the ones just counting posts or using a bot to do so.  They're the ones who don't impose much in the way of rules on the participants, with the result that any shitpost will be paid and alt accounts enrolling in the same bounty won't be caught unless the community does it, regardless of how obvious it is.  That's what needs to change, and yes I think managers bear a lot of responsibility for shitposters.
