RE: What's up with these new bots?
Instead of begging for votes, they disguise begging for delegation in this fashion, then earn curation rewards the easy way, while duping unsuspecting noobs into delegating, which in turn causes them to lose the ability to do anything around here. It won't work well, but some will fall for it. That's my take on it anyway.
Very possible... Hrmm but do you think they are earning enough to rent the dele?

I don't know. That teevmoore account appears to be an active member simply spamming this post has recieved an upvote on every post they view. They're also powering down, so I assume that member doesn't really know what they're doing, should probably be flagged for spam to put a stop to it. I've seen other accounts asking for delegation though, and when I looked in the wallets, there wasn't much owned SP and about 20 delegated. I can't remember which account it was, but I'd know it if I saw it again. I doubt whoever delegated would see any money trickling in. The spammer, I assume, would be using the delegation to increase their own rewards. Purely speculation though. Some of these scammy types aren't smart and it's easy to see through them.
Nothing wrong with increasing your own rewards, as long as you're also sharing the rewards with other people on the blockchain. Upvoting only your own posts is what I see as scammy.
