Is Steemit really going VIRAL? Steemit is ander attac of cybersquatting.
@masteryoda posted ecstatic post about how extremely fast steemit grows. Many graphs and clever words. BUT. Look at the situation closer. Try to register account "microsoft", "samsung", "bmw"... ah? Ok, may be representatives of the companies found Steemit very perspective and got a jerk on to register their labels? Any way this nicknames already occupied. Let's go further. Try to register account "boy", "girl", "putin", "vodka", "money"... They already occupied too. Every short english word of three letters as well.
So, is Steemit really going VIRAL? I think It is old known cybersquatting. And You?
I can not believe, that this action is invisible for curators and developers.
And very interesting is this post About the real number of active Steemit users.
Great post , wtf lets kick does cybersquatters out lol
Funny, because I got the same idea a few weeks ago. I made a proof of concept bot that uses reddit accounts to register steemit accounts.
But I thought that would be selfish, evil and generally non-productive. So I only made 3 accounts in total.
Furthermore, these accounts cost steemit money. They spend 3 STEEM per account, so even just 10,000 fake accounts translate into a $60,000 loss.
I did the same with FB. Created 3 accounts and realized, that it is possible to register as many as i want without any troubles. And yes, each acc costs 3 STEEM. And if I transfer funds from my main account to sattelites - i will be able to powerdown and get real money from exchange.
that may be. i however think that it may be a mixture of both. i for one have invited two new users in the last two days and see many new users coming in but still not as many as might be expected.
I'm real and new!
Cybersquatting is real! And it's here.
