It's that one guy... the incentives are pretty misaligned. Because he is popular, people upvotes him, regardless of the trash he posts, because they think it'll get them high rewards.
His spam covers up a lot of actual quality posts so the upvoting bots are disincentivized to go through posts and actually find them (due to smaller rewards.)
I myself have muted this idiot and hope others do the same.
Same here, I actually went through a lot of his analysis on cryptos and there just isn't that much to it. He could really do a weekly recap of all the cryptos and it would actually be more informative and add value to the platform
I hope Steemit can find a way to stop people like this earning so much.
I don't care that he is earning the amounts he is, its the manner in which he is doing it. He is simply manipulating the system to get upvotes. If you post high quality, original and engaging content you deserve it, but posting 10-15 times a day in the same category with the same Elliot Wave strategy on every token is manipulation
