RE: Must read: sorry for spamming & bot trail insanity
Haha I am having the same issue - Im pretty sure that someone has just set up a mass script with new accounts to follow people straight after they post as way to get noticed in the hope they will follow back. If you look at their pages they all follow a similar ammount of people and were created at similar times.
Odd and annoying to be honest - just inflates the numbers on here - it seems I have got like 100 + followers in the last week alone from this
But even with a mass script, how can one create so many new accounts? As you would need a phone number for each account you create.
You can buy Steem accounts now I think... and before that maybe these people just mass bought a whole bunch of sim cards - wouldnt surprise me the lengths some people will go to!
If you buy a Steem account you won't get the 15 SP delegation. So these accounts should be official ones.
Buying Sim cards could be, but buying 100+ and most likely a much higher number seems really weird. And almost impossible. At least in the Netherlands where I live. Cause each sim card will cost money.
Not really @crypto-econom1st there are "Like farms" to buy likes for most social media and that's exactly what they do.
I'm afraid I don't understand how that makes sense for all these followers we get from the thing I call bot trails?
I wonder if Mark knows about this.
