I developed software for lottery and casino services, and when I read stories like this the first thing that comes to my mind is this "golden ticket winner" effect that ranking algorithms are designed to generate. The chances of winning the lottery are so low, but whoever wins will get so much media coverage that everybody believes they can win. I don't think it's a coincidence that "poor" content makers are on top of the transparency list, it's just the algorithm exploiting this "you can be a winner too" effect.
