RE: How To Destroy Steemit in 3 Easy Steps!

in #abuse7 years ago

@stellabelle

NO ONE WILL WANT TO JOIN STEEMIT AS BY THIS TIME IT WILL BE VERY WELL KNOWN AS A SCAM, AN UPVOTE RING.

This is exactly what i felt. I got really angry when i found out about this problem too. For some reason the people working on hard forks don't fully realize the severity of it.

Thanks for supporting this cause.

I appreciate you making the issue visible @calamus056. I have been "down this road" on SO many platforms like this... and somehow every single one seemed to believe they are somehow "exempt" from the destructiveness of human greed.

Have any of your reports or post showed the percentage of the daily rewards that are going into "self-voting"?

Yes, in the period of June 20th - July 18th the measurable self-voting was approx. 9% of the reward pool. For comments the measurable self-voting was a minimum of about 35% of the comment rewards (this is likely largely because abusers can now self-vote in only 11 comments a day instead of 44 when the maximum vote went to 2% from 0.5%).

Obviously we can't know the self-voting that is being done between multiple accounts, owned by the same user. On top of that, stellabelle has the same worry that the number will only increase. Imagine when World of Warcraft gold farms discover SteemIt, or worse, that's not going to be pretty.
