RE: Steemit/Steem: Reputation Voting Analysis
Reputations 45 and 46 both vote for reputation 58 the most. This stands out in the dataset but the analyst has no obvious conclusions as to why. Anyone?
Perhaps, Sockpuppet accounts voting their master. It would be around that level that someone would build the understanding and have the funds to create the network I guess. Plus, the 58 would have the power to bring the puppets up to 45/46 relatively easily but not much higher quickly.
Hi @tarazkp
Thanks for stopping by and suggestion a reason for the question - some proof you had a look through :)
It's a good shout and makes sense, you are tempting me to go and have another look now. I think i'll need to delve into the account names a bit more, something i tried to avoid here :)
If I find something, i'll let you know. Cheers!
Yeah, I try when I can to actually read :P
It is an interesting area. The 76 voting behaviour is relatively obvious of course
You will likely find that this is a group of accounts vote trading. I can likely name some of them off the top of my head who will essentially go one for one. Just another scam at Steemit.
Yes both of these cases I'm aware of, as many are I would assume.
I do think this is not the only case, but likely the highest profile 'selective voting arrangement'. That's about all I have to say on that one I think!
yes, best not to speak too loud.
Asher is there anyway to add in to the data of those questionable voters if they are vote proxy accounts or all voting for the same witnesses? No names needed just the data sets would be nice to see.
It's possible I think, and yes I suspect a fair overlap.
Honestly, I don't wish to delve too far into it, for my general happiness here and my contents' well-being, if you know what I mean :)
I completely understand. I have been looking at some stuff as well and it seems like an endless rabbit hole of irritation. I guess in reality we all wonder what is in pandora's box but none of us really want to open it to find out.
Thanks for what you do here, one by one I am introduced to or find one of the larger names around here. I was told about you last week or so by @ashleykalila. That lead me to find this. That's a smart girl.
