Simple Steem Bot Trap
After revealing a Pareto Power for Steemians I spent some time to monitor new stories from the list of Top-6% of steemians whose posts are most upvoted here.
And this topic got my especial attention: one word "ignore" in title coming from high-power @smooth account.
It is interesting to watch how many bots were triggered to upvote this post - more than 40+ and still growing.
I do beleive it is only bot activity. No live person would upvote single word "ignore" in "spam" category.
Well, if you need the data to analyse curation bot's activity on Steem - just follow accounts that upvoted reported @smooth topic and check their activity, curation strategy and rewards.
Where do you go to check out these "top 6%" of steemians?
I run a simple python script to analyse a local copy of STEEM blockchain.
Hmm, I'll have to play around with that idea. Thanks!
If you notice @smooth downvoted the https://steemit.com/spam/@smooth/ignore post. Curious.
Aha, I just know why he did it. He just got himself a lot of bots!
Sure!
Original purpose was a simple technical thing for @smooth but bots starts upvoting that resulted him to downvote the topic (and not self-upvote it on the beginning).
The list of bots is an additional reward for all of us.
Here another traps, some made especially to catch bots, another appear to be accidental:
