Powerup or run away with the loot?

in #utopian-io5 years ago (edited)

I recently read about the day in reference to powerup and how important it is in our ecosystem.

Precisely for this reason today I wanted to bring you this "small" case with reference to steem's exit from the platform, in a completely fraudulent way ...

Let me explain better, everyone is free to do powerup or not, to use their steem as they see fit ... this is the economy and that's how steem also stands up...

But what I want to talk about today is the fraudulent system that more and more people adopted on the platform, the account farming.
This practice is very simple to implement, you need few resources to be able to get good results in a short time.

Obviously all this is due to the uncontrollable desire to accumulate steem, you will be wondering, but no ... in most cases those who implement these means to try to earn some upvotes will not hold his steem on the platform, on the contrary ... he will wait for a right number, for sell them as soon as possible.

But why is this a serious problem within the platform?
leaving aside the fact that the contents generated by these accounts, most of the time are complete garbage, moreover if we think that only 6 months ago there was the HF that served to decrease the costs for our witnesses.
Such a large amount of multi-account posting garbage certainly will not benefit the health of the ecosystem, but rather I think that probably the high cost of steemit management, in part, is also due to this.

What is even sadder, is when some of these scammers manage to participate with more accounts in some of the contests carried out by the community, with the aim of extorting as many steem as possible from the poor victim.

That's why today I want to talk to you about this case, where the user @magnata is building his little empire.

It is easy to deduce from these screens what is happening.

The main @magnata account is receiving the various steems from his secondary accounts @serkagan, @aleks433 and @megafart, earned by posting exclusively spam ...

But if we all create more accounts, with which to earn steems, and then sell them on the market, what effect would we have?
What idea can the various active members of the community have?

This problem that you have exposed has never been taken into consideration by the person who created the platform and established the rules and methods of use. And this because it is not at all a problem of the platform but only one of the infinite ways of using the platform. Creating many accounts is part of the nature of Steemit as are the Bots.
Even taking out the earned steems does it all and is normal and, above all, allowed. Should they give you the steems you earned? You have discovered hot water.

creating multiple (useless) content weighs down the system, steemit is a "proof of brain blockchain", and I think your comments are very out of place...

Even the publication of unnecessary screen shot weighs down the system. You could have expressed this with just three lines of text.

mine is a single article... go away mooe

Well done, we again see another activist. You yourself made a post, like to identify fraudsters and did not even bother to find out what and how. For you personally, I inform you that all listed akkanty are one family and transfers between us are just as natural, and if you wish, we support each other. You will have one piece of advice, create something original and positive, instead of arranging a witch hunt. Good luck!

hi @magnata I do not see any witch, only people who think they are more furby than others...
