RE: Beware: Strange Activity / Abuse - @spbid on radar for abuse
I have gotten a ton or "send SBD and get restemmed to 10k accounts and get 50+ upvotes" . If you dig into the posts that send money, the upvotes they are all worthless, 50+ votes and to post value was $.03
With bidbots ROI almost always negative I think they are basically built to milk the minnows as we desperately try to get eyeballs on articles that otherwise get buried in seconds.
Yep, there's a lot of phishing scams going on as well. It's unfortunate growing pains of the platform. The bid-bots are evolving, many already setting ROI limits to prevent steep losses to users. If you think about it, we sort of share that responsibility of using these services wisely.
What many people might not realize is the last-minute bidders that throw HUGE bids in and destroy the ROI = are the biggest losses. They will learn eventually or go broke..LOL
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I think many others silently agree.
Stay safe and Steem On, @senstless.
