RE: The End Of My Fight || Steemit Plagiarism Premier League
Hey @the-goriall. I've been tracking down someone who has leached close to $43,000 worth of Steem since account creation. This is still happening.
Here is a glimpse of the stem that has been leached so far. I can explain the unethical practices that are being followed by the account to get such rewards. Let me know if you're down to this.
@kiwi-crypto knows about a few big accounts doing this and I don't think there's anything we can do to stop them. I'll defer to the wise kiwi (and I suspect he knows which account you're referring to)...
So, this isn't a big account. It's an account with just 400 SP. It's the service that is the reason behind such massive leach.
I could be wrong, I'll leave @kiwi-crypto to say. But there's a big account with a few sub accounts that all have massive upvotes, then transfers the money out of steem. Would I be correct in assuming every post within the account in question makes about $100 per post?
Nope. The one I am referring to posts like 4-5 times a day and gets $4-$5 per post. All the posts are bot-generated and the votes are also from a bot service mainly containing very old abandoned accounts. The worst part is that they lure more people by making false statements. This is what has led them to grow so much.
This is like 1 account that I am sure belongs to them. However, there might be a few more that belongs to them. So, we can assume around $40-50 being leached everyday.
So, per post, this account receives a whopping 800-1500 upvotes.
They recently started to market themselves here on stem(once again) and more users have started to join the service. So, moving forward their post payout is only going to increase.
If you leave a screenshot of the account in question here, then hopefully @kiwi-crypto will have time to take a look. If not, I'll take a look tomorrow, it's late here 😴
So, here is the screenshot of the account.
This account name is minimalpris
Here is the screenshot of the service that runs this account.
It's called upvotebank
So, basically what's happening here is the misuse of over 1,000 posting authorities. Most of these accounts are abandoned and have the 15SP that's delegated during account creation.
I can also make a detailed list of most of the accounts that have given them posting rights and urge users to revoke them.
