RE: [Steem] Steem Per Mvests Leads to Bot Island
Yes!!! I can't wait to put that on my business card!
During my Curie duties I come across a fair amount of spam accounts.. and so dutifully report them to steemcleaners...usually spammers get no or one upvotes... but these ones were getting 11 upvotes... and so it was pure curiosity to investigate who was continuously upvoting such terrible spam... and found it was all the same accounts.. and then looked at their wallets. Once I realised two were in the same ring, it was super easy to find all the others.
I'm not sure that busy.org gives upvotes anymore... but the damage is done, they all had enough SP to vote each other...
Busy does, but only at something like a 16% level, which because of the rounding inherent in Steemit's undercarriage, can effectively never drop your voting power to 0.
@crokkon has a good analysis of the Busybot's recent activity.
