RE: Follower Count Report for Thursday, August 25th
Good point. I wonder if it would be possible to make use of the reputation scores too. For example, if someone has rep 25 and 100 followers, that's a pretty clear red flag, unless it's some whale account that has very low activity but followers nonetheless for celebrity status. Then again you don't want to discount new members either. One thing that could be interesting to look at would be total steem power of your followers. That is an easy way to solve the sybil issue, i think.
Ah, I like that! It would also emphasize the very real incentive to purchase influence here which can drive up the price of STEEM by creating more of a demand for Steem Power. I may have to play around with that idea. Instead of going off of numbers like "has 10 followers" maybe I could look into something like "has more than the initial starting Steem Power balance."
Great ideas, thank you! Now I'm thinking a programatic look at this data may still be useful.
