Just to clarify, anyone can submit links - not just MN holders
I assume you meant if investors don't participate in voting?
i am highly convinced 99% of MN holders are MN holders for the passive income, not to handcheck ~3000 torrents per month to vote for each valid one.
So far that is not really the case on our network

which actually makes us very happy.
You should check out the community at some point, even just for a glance!
Besides, some hold a large portion of MNs - and QMT allows to vote on multiple links
So if someone was feeling generous they could potentially just ctrl+a and vote. Then hope the bad ones get downvoted or reported to other MN holders..
