You are free to make your own judgement, I am just empowering you with information.
How this technique works
1. Follow thousands of people in hope that they will follow back in return
2. Some people do follow back (in-fact a lot do!)
3. After a few days or weeks simply unfollow all users you had followed
This makes their followers numbers more than following and to a newbie user visiting the profile, it seems that these are really popular users.
Steemit is very different from the typical Social Networks and we all know it. With this report, I am not trying to point any fingers and you may have legitimate reasons to unfollow people in thousands! I am just trying to bring more transparency in the platform. The aim is to make aware and discourage people from using such practices which otherwise work perfectly on other closed Social Platforms!

Thanks for making this report.
I was aware people used the follow-unfollow technique but I didn't realise to this extent.
17,000 unfollows they tustve been very busy!
Thanks, it is pretty widespread on steemit! In one of my earlier reports there was a user who had unfollowed 35,000 in 1 day!
hmmm, I don't know any of those people
Good for you :)
