RE: Case 9: The @ecoworld conspiracy - identifying 4,766 + 1 cheating accounts
I notice in the last 3 month I have many new followers they all begin in June, July and August around 10 new followers per day. Many of these account doesn't post anything few have some up-voting power, but if you look into their wallet there is nothing. Is this the same kind of abuse? the last 3 month you can feel a big change in Steemit it is really full of accounts which are not posting anything. Can you enlighten me?
There are thousands of new accounts that follow similar patterns. Following at random is often done to create a follow-back audience. When an account has gathered enough follower you might eventually start seeing it doing spam attacks.
But really, there are more schemes than one can count in which these "empty" accounts are involved, time will tell!
