RE: What's up with all these instant (new account) followers after publishing a new post?

in #steemit6 years ago

I think that's it. What other reason can there be to create several accounts that connect followers via the follow you follow me principle?

Most of these accounts I saw in my ginabot were created precisely at the same time.

I call it the bots trail 😩

There is one thing I don't understand. Why would someone create 5 or even more of these accounts?

Sort:  

but I have it too, and I do not have a follow me I follow you on? I usedto have that with shadowbot but I am not in it anymore.

But those bots are just following as much Steemonians as possible. And most people don't follow them back. They just know that if they follow 25k people that they will have 2-5k followers themselves. And then they probably try to sell a resteem service.

I noticed that too.. accounts of several created on the same day.. indeed seems like a bots trail

There is one thing I can't remember for sure. But I have a feeling that one of these trails had the 15 delegated SP. And that would be a bit strange, as someone needs to register a phone number. So that means you need to have like 3+ phone numbers.
But perhaps I just think they I saw it one time, but am I confusing it with something else....?
