Not a paid for thing, anyone can do it. As far as I can tell, it was just a feature Ernest (Mr Kbin Sir Guy Creator) programmed without much thought. So it’s just a weird unique thing that Kbin can do.

On Kbin, in addition to up and downvotes, there is the Boost option, as seen in the picture.
If you are looking at these comment threads on Kbin/Mbin, when a comment/post is ‘boosted,’ it is automatically moved up higher in the thread, similarly to if it had been upvoted a lot.
Lemmy does not have Boosts, and so neither do any of the Lemmy clients on desktop/mobile.
Lastly, on Kbin you can look at the ‘Activity’ on a post which lets you see who upvoted, who downvoted, and who Boosted, which is what is shown in the picture.
I’m calling this guy out for being insecure and Boosting his own opinion to the top for visibility, despite the fact that he’s just parroting an already popular opinion in this thread.
Edit: also lol, he unboosted his post at the time of me writing this comment. But the picture captures the original tomfoolery. Also I checked his profile and that guy regularly Boosts his own comments, but I bet he removed a bunch of those by now too.

They’re just tanking so they can get a high draft pick next year.
finthechat@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'1347·1 year agoBethesda was under no obligation to talk to these mod devs beforehand. But it sure makes them look bad. As a recent comparable, Concerned Ape was open and communicative with all the mod devs before releasing his latest patch for Stardew Valley, a game that is just about as old as Fallout 4.
Bethesda has become a literal laughingstock at this point in time and it’s just funny to point at them every time they rack up another L.

finthechat@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•The environmental cost of China's addiction to cement181·1 year agoThe article is using China as an example that increased concrete usage and its accompanying production is bad for the environment. The article is not chastising China for trying to provide for its “basic fucking needs of a modern society” by building “hospitals, schools, bridges, fucking sidewalks.”
finthechat@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•The environmental cost of China's addiction to cement163·1 year agoHow do you read any of that and come to the conclusion that anyone is “chastising” China? The other poster is right, you either didn’t read it or are just a troll.
I wonder if it is possible to be held in contempt if you just keep farting nonstop in court
Yeah for real, whoever said that is such an idiot. If he hired 5000 people instead they could get the work done 100 times faster.
