There are many individuals on Steemit who actually have multiple accounts, some run into the hundreds. It's a fairly trivial to give a bot voting rights on 99 of those accounts and have the bot upvote your main account to megabucks. @shelockholmes was doing a brilliant job of exposing these individuals https://steemitstage.com/@sherlockholmes sadly he has disappeared. I just hope he wasn't threatened or worse? While it's brilliant that there is effectively no controls on Steemit it is both sickening and annoying that some scumbags are more than willing to spoil it for the rest of us and there's nobody to do anything about it.

The freedom that Steemit gives us does open it to abuse, but I think a lot of the community care about making it better. I hope that's enough.
apparently not.
