Excellent write-up on issue of spinning. Yes, personally, I would prefer spinning in a fairy tale (Rumpelstiltskin, anyone?) vs the stuff we deal with on this platform.

I remember dealing with one of these spinners, @cryptokraze, that was boosting their posts like crazy with @smartsteem. His ways finally caught up with him after a good couple of @steemcleaners flags and is now powering down. These kind don't always get caught but it's a great feeling when they do. Post

As we both know, often these kind just pack up and move to another accounts. Which makes our task all the more difficult and, of course, the sly editing is another aspect we must be aware of which I am glad you pointed out. Also, the tool you refenced is another good one for any abuse fighters toolbox.

Glad you brought this issue up. Bringing awareness is essential. Spinners may be acceptable on vehicle wheels or as a passing teenage fad but they are never OK on the blockchain.
