F1 Billionaire To Rescue Aston Martin But Pull Back On EVs - Jalopnik

Flagged for spam @steemflagrewards
I only see one copy of this article on the steemit search results,
https://steemit.com/static/search.html?q=F1+Billionaire+To+Rescue+Aston+Martin
Why was this flagged as "spam"?
I only want to know so I can try to avoid similar pit-falls.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Repetitive automated posting. Account has been on our frequent flyers list and are on a couple blacklists.
Personally, wouldn't think it's an issue to post something like this every now and again but there are a couple aggravating factors here.
This is a common tactic of vote farming operations. The Steemit.com account creation had previously been a very easy actor vector to create thousands accounts that would proceed to circular vote each other to amass Steem Power for further exploitation. If I recall in this case, the accounts voting have had their posting key compromised. Think @guiltyparties or @themarkymark may be able to shed light.
We know users will do similar w apps such as dlike but, when it's the only thing the account does, there is nothing redeeming about it. I would be OK if on one hand they are producing quality, engaging content but this isn't the case, unfortunately.
Hope this helps you have a better idea of why we choose to flag this account on particular. When I have time, I could create some scripts to get more details about the trends but think, at this point, there is sufficient reason to flag.
Ok, so zombie sock-puppet accounts. Can't you just pull all their newb delegated steem (15 steem-power from @steem)?
Thank you for explaining this. I've seen the term "vote farming/comment farming" a few times and I had no idea what it was referring to.
I think that's the key problem with all of this, defining a "quality post".
I just skimmed the surface here (@superheroes) and I've seen at least 3 articles that contained interesting information I personally haven't seen anywhere else.
For example, the doctor who tried to warn about the outbreak died from the virus.
I heard on the radio that someone died and a lot of people were very angry about it, but the primary data point, that the guy had tried to warn everyone before-hand, was completely lost in the radio version.
Automatic news aggregators can be good if people like them (like go.oglenews and FARK and slashdot).
Who controls the @steem account anyway?
I'd be in favor of forcing newb accounts to be sponsored by an existing member. That way, if somebody made thousands of accounts, they wouldn't automatically get 15 (or 15,000) steem-power a pop!
So, it's not really the actual content that's objectionable, it's just the thousands of zombie sock-puppet voters?
Thanks again for your time and consideration.
