I'm with you, having to sift through all the false flagging to find the genuine interactions can be a little crushing. That's all they can hope to achieve though, is to be somewhat annoying. Why would someone waste so much of their time on this? They can't post anything without the entire community landing the finishing blow and flagging their account into oblivion, so what are they hoping for? I suspect this is a lonely person, probably late teens/early twenties, most likely male who doesn't have an awful lot to do with their time. Maybe we could all pitch together and offer to buy him a night with a sex worker?

That is exactly my feeling at this point, why are Steemit themselves allowing this to continue? Left unchecked, it will ruin this platform without a shadow of a doubt. The number of spam accounts is on the increase, and it's really starting to worry me. I don't want to invest time and money into something that is doomed to fail.
