If you haven't heard, we at @buildawhale are very active at blacklisting plagiarists, spammers, scams, frauds, and other forms of abuse. While everyone says Bid Bots are the problem on Steem and they reward shit content, I go out of my way to prevent this.
Every few days I put out an update for our Blacklist which includes new members to our exclusive club.
I also frequently uncover large spam networks consisting of as many as 100 accounts creating spam and plagiarism. In the past, this was more of a quiet, behind the scenes project. In the past few months, I have made my efforts very public so it is known we do not encourage this content.
If you haven't already, come check out our daily Curation Digest where we dig through the hundreds of posts submitted to @buildawhale daily and find our five favorites to feature in our manual curation. We have been doing this for almost 8 months now, Monday through Friday publishing without stop. This is part of our efforts to encourage quality content and discourage garbage.
Which brings me to the point of this post, a very effective ad by a movie theatre that does things a little different. It reminds me of the flags and messages I receive when blacklisting a spammer or plagiarist.
Unfortunately, there isn't an Alamo Drafthouse in my area nor do I drink beer. I've always heard good things about them. I don't go to theatres as much lately but still a huge movie buff.
But not everyone will be happy...

Can you point me towards the process for submitting to buildawhale? I have a lot of questions, but if there is an FAQ I can just read that rather than ask them all here.
Thanks!
Just send 5 SBD+ to @buildawhale (or 1 SBD+ to upmyvote) with the post you want to promote in the memo. We can only vote on posts that are not past 3 days old but you will get an auto refund if you mess up.
Is that 5 SBD every time or just the one time to get started? I am pretty new, so that is a little steep for me right now. Maybe not in the future though!
It's per post, but @upmyvote is designed for smaller users at 1 SBD. I had to raise @buildawhale minimum a lot due to how much steem power it has.
Okay, thank you!
This is a relief, I am seeing a lot of plagiarism and these people are earning a lot from it, I hope it evolves well. Thank you for your efforts.
Keep the good work up, together we can make steemit better. 🥂💯
Lets make steemit a plaigrism free platform.... Let all the content here be genuine...,.. ...
Hats off to u ....as u guys are working hard to make it true
I want to join this exclusive club and also uphold the righteousness of our account. I will be vigilant in anti-spam, anti-scam, anti plagiarism and anti fraud activities here on steemit.
I don't know why people find joy in copying other people's post without making reference. The bad part, they won't even change anytin. Copy word for word. I am glad you are helping to fight this war against plagiarism
Nice. It's things like this that are reason you have my witness vote. Keep it up, annoying and hard though it is the work is appreciated.
What a great find. I'm just sitting here giggling.
I'm 1200 miles away, but if I ever feel the need to go to a movie in Austin that'll be the place.
Thanks for this and your continuing battle.
There are going to be a lot of people, who aint gonna be happy.
You have my upvote and support, I'd recommend observing the facebook group, lots of upvote for upvoting and all that childish malarky happening in there... All new users with no clue of how it works, using facebook (which i hate) to like shit posts and get publicity for steem but in my opinion gives new comers the wrong view of how to steem
What does x48ej mean?
Not sure, what you think?
It's on your post, just curious 😁.
It’s a tool to solve a problem for me.
Alright, my curiosity is sated. 😀
It is suppose to be a mystery :)
Okay! Checking out this buildawhale thing.... Followed! Thanks for curating content manually!
In the facebook groups I see a lot of people selling their steem accouns, black market seing their steem dollars, exchanging upvotes for upvotes
I feel like I d be on facebook in the beginnigs
Bid bots, selling votes, stolen pictures of a flower earning $20 or more and thoughtful, well made posts by new Steemians' earning nothing- not even getting any views or upvotes. That's just garbage.
Good.
These shit plagiarists and spammers should be downvote by 100%.
I appreciate your work and your outstanding service. 👍👍
😬

Don't think I've used your bot yet, but I gotta commend you for blacklisting garbage.
Bid bots are not the problem
That's the way drop the Hammer on the bad actors !
Thank you for you continued efforts in keeping Steemit clean and fun for everyone. Hats off to you sir !
