RE: How well do Blog Posts Really do on Steemit – Analysis SteemitSQL Database
Thank you for putting all of this together @paulag. For the last few days, I've noticed a few bots hitting the photo and travel sections, fishing for up votes by leaving generic 'wow, beautiful pic' like comments.
I'm hoping these scammers somehow get weeded out of course, but the reason I say this is that they're distorting all stats re steemit as a whole, and wasting the time of posters who reply, thinking they may have a genuine fan.
So, I was wondering, since I can't do the kind of stuff you can, whether it's possible to compile a list of steemians who comment the most to get a general idea of who these bots are, so we can mute them based on their thousands and thousands of comment and no up vote histories?
Start flagging them. I have and have noticed some of the accounts rep levels dropping fast. It's going going to get a lot worse unless we do something about it.
@steemmeupscotty yes i can do something to try and work this out. leave it with me
Honestly - that would be fab! And would save us all much time, voting power, and peace of mind. Thank you!
Nice - and yes, as @rt395 said, just flag them and tag @steemcleaners - eventually when they learn that these useless comments from their auto-posting bots aren't going to buy them that yacht, they'll find somewhere else to go and try find riches through being unproductive. :)

I just ignore them and tell any newbies I come across to do the same.
