Revoked Access to Streemian and Changed to Steemauto. Not Happy.
Source
Thanks to my old pal @swelker101's post earlier today, I discovered I had been forced to 100% upvote a post that was in the 1000s of dollars. Yes, it's in their T&Cs somewhere, but a week ago Streemian was said to be dead. I followed the advice in Shane's post and revoked my permissions from Streemian, along with a few other services.
I heard somewhere about https://steemauto.com and how much better a service it was. I liked that I could create a fan base of people I could autovote, I could create a curation trail for my Muxxybot account and set the service to claim my rewards automatically. So I signed up, set it up and thought it was going swimmingly.
Alas, nope.
Going through my account operations on https://Steemworld.org I started noticing odd votes I had apparently made. I clicked on the posts in question and there is no way I would have voted for most of them. I mean, look at this.
and this...
shaking my head...
As you can imagine, I removed my votes. I checked the time of the first stray upvote and it coincided with me signing up to Steemauto. I didn't join any trails and the only people I added to my fanbase - people I would automatically upvote - are friends.
Sorry, but Steemauto looks about as reliable a service as Streemian. Do yourself a favour and do not sign up. I have since revoked permissions from it.
UPDATE: I just checked my @Muxxybot account that I'd signed up to @steemauto and sure enough, the same thing there - random upvotes on shitposts.

Hello @gmuxx
First, you are the only one reported this issue, I have some accounts in steemauto without any issue.
Can you please tell me time of that upvotes and send here link of that posts?
I'm sure everything works well. But, if there are any problem, I want to solve that.
Thanks for your article.
Sounds like I need to take another look at writing that bot we talked about a while back...
Yup...
Those jokes are sick 😠
Definitely a waste of upvotes.
They should be ST🚫PPED 👊👮

Agreed.
Crazzzzzyyyyyyyy!!! I just revoked!

Thank yiu for revoking those votes and speaking up. The truth must be told and that act is fraudulent and against the soul purpose growing steemit. Thank you.
I don't trust any site, except Steemit.com to give my data or auth
I have been hearing/reading horror stories about them.
Good heads up for the rest of us. I know lots of people are promoting steemauto as the replacement for streemian, but I guess we need to stay away from both of them. Thanks for taking a bullet for us, @gmuxx.
Good grief! This is outrageous. I'm glad I hadn't wandered over and signed up yet. I mean, who in their right mind would think this is okay?
they are fooling people. such sites need to be closed.
at least be upfront about it
You removed your (Muxxy) vote from my posts to... Any reason?
My own account voted for you as well as the Muxxybot account - along with lots of less than awesome posts. I mistakenly removed the Muxxybot votes.
I did see the post, but I do normally get muxxybot votes. And now I saw two were removed.
Oh I'm sorry, I will reinstate those, with higher percentages. My own account also voted, as you can see above. Nothing personal. Off to vote with Muxxybot.
hehe Thanks! I thought I was in the "no way I have voted for that" category.
Thank you :)
Not at all, sorry for the confusion, it's been one of those days.
