By the usual way, I was referring to large advertising campaigns that I'm sure yield more votes per dollar than a quadratic voting system.
One of the things you're missing is that people who can afford to buy that many votes for a single issue are very rare and could easily be out voted by a small organized group that buys multiple votes, but with a lower power multiple.
Assuming all votes cost $1, then 1,000 votes costs 1mil. That could easily be nullified by 100 voters buying 10 votes.
Consider also that the money would be rebated equally. So you might spend $100 and get back $250 and win the vote.
