RE: June and July ’18 New Steemit User Report
Thanks for this report. It's good to see that Steemit.Inc took steps to limit fraudulent sign-ups. I got a spate of zero downvotes from new accounts with 25 Rep, and wondered what was going on, then found other Steemians blogging about it.
Why spend your time like that, creating fake accounts and malicious bots? I just don't understand some people.
these downvote accounts are a pain in the neck. I think its something I need to look into further. i was under the believe their activity was not as much now
One really great thing about Steemit is the community of savvy programmers and witnesses who quickly take action against things like this!
Same here 4 so far just over a week ago. Hopefully it will stop. I don't know the whole story or which one is correct. Supposedly someone got mad with @steemcleaners and created the accounts to downvote anyone the is possibly associated with them. All the accounts are Rep of 25 and all cast -100% downvote with just the starting SP. It shouldn't harm us, but it's still the idea of . 'We've cracked down on fraudulent signups and accounts. Then this happens.
they do it to make money
I don't understand how they're making any money. Like @tryskele said in the comment above, it was a bunch of brand new accounts with 25SP (mostly), giving downvotes of 0.00.
One of the weird things about Steemit. I try not to pay too much attention; it takes away from my writing and posting. :-)
