Not too long ago there was a person. I can't for the life of me find it now, but some time ago on HN there was a person whose account got banned for upvote gaming, but it wasn't actually him. Fortunately dang let him make his case.

It happened to me. Was permanently banned and I never made use of a service like what the OP mentioned.

Now I am still using adsense but through a 3rd party that takes a large cut.
