There are a few of us who help a curation account. The account owner has very high ethics, and also, like most of us, a full time job, a family, and a life, but still manages to work extremely hard to weed thru the slush pile and find quality to benefit Steemit.

One of us found a member who was translating foreign language posts to English and making a good profit. Quite a few a day as this user also had multiple accounts.

It took diligence, time and effort with translating these posts to their source, finding all his fake accounts, then presenting to steemcleaners- who rather quickly banned all said accounts.

I watched this transpire. It took a lot.

And this was just for one user.

What I am getting at is in my opinion there needs to be more people paid by Steemit to do this kind of work. If change is going to happen, if we wish for it to be so, then we need more police- people empowered with sp for downvotes and a bit of an income to justify the time. People who's sole job is cleaning up Steemit and making it safe, comfortable, and equal for all.
