Quite possibly so; increasing the vote difficulty may help here; but one thing to keep in mind is that the proof of work voting is not necessarily the only voting approach that could be supported. The proof of working voting I think works best at a large scale of users something notabug doesn't have yet.

It was something easy to implement that works decently enough for now; but with a decentralized network different peers can experiment with different voting and sorting strategies.
