A new spamming trend on steemit

in #steembasicincome5 years ago (edited)

Make a ton of new accounts, fill them with spanish poetry posts, profit. There's a growing amount of spam.


After initially abusing...

...the #introduceyourself tag (although they don't introduce yourself, just begin with poetry), they'll post one poem a day on each account. Some accounts have obviously been started at the same time.

I'm muting...

...each of these I run into, because they end up clogging the new posts feed while I'm fishing for zero-upvotes threads and new people to follow. It generally makes it harder to curate, though. Not to mention it's annoying.

Why...

...do they do it, though? There aren't enough upvotes to surpass the dust threshold. Maybe they're stacking early upvotes from those accounts to generate more curation - but then couldn't they do it without spamming? Makes no sense to me.

What...

...kind of weird-ass spamming have you ran into while on steemit? Leave a comment below and you just might get a sbi share.

That's a bot account owned by fulltimegeek to curate. Not sure if it's random people or if it's circlejerking, so I'm not going to make any statements about it. It does spam, but it's spam targets specific people only. It upvotes itself but it seems to do so only to rise it's reputation (just my impression).
