RE: Minnow #541,753—Monthly Report: May

in #steemit6 years ago

I probably had about 150 new followers insta-follow after posting in the past month. They are all the same person, part of a video farm. Kinda annoying really, its completely pointless, all it does it just spam the blockchain. They are all added to @mack-bot. So it's a waste of their time too. Like what's the point.. haha

Anyway, that aside. +91 SP, nice one! That's pretty decent. I reckon next month you will break 100. It's only a matter of time. :D

Sort:  

That's probably what happened to me then, too. I can't remember exactly who any of them are, but mack-bot sounds familiar. What precisely is a video farm? Are they taking people's videos they find here and then reposting them, or are they grabbing them from YouTube and posting them here? As you said, either one sounds useless.

I'd love to string together some 120 SP or more months, but it's going to depend on more people being around and prices going back up somewhat, because it's like ghost city again and I'm largely playing to a vacuum.

Video farm is usually multiple accounts either autoposting or even manual posting youtube videos sometimes with text, usually incoherent babble lol

Problem with ghosts is when they try to vote their hand goes through the screen. 😏

Yeah, and they generally upvote with dust, too. :)

Oh, okay. So, the old take from YouTube and post with incoherent babble trick. :)

Putting all of that together must be really easy to go to the trouble of doing it for what can't be more than a pittance. I mean, even if newbies are falling for it left and right, they're dust voting. That's a lot of newbies to get anywhere. The higher SP should know better, and then cheetah seems to show up whenever that's happening, so I don't know. I suppose they continue to do it because there's rewards to be made, but it all seems like a very exhausting royal waste of everyone's time.

Well if they are making 100, 1k accounts each with 15sp from steemit i guess it adds up when they all start circle voting. Then there are accounts like hr1 auto voting, then random noobs voting everything they see. Lol

But making that many accounts is not worth the effort in my opinion. Not unless you can hide it.

If they put as much effort into writing something original that would be preferable 😂
