it's hard to be completely accurate as most users have 5-10 accounts.
I can't imagine how hard it would be to to juggle so many accounts. Or why I would even want that many. I already spend my days creating art/gaming content for my 1 account. Managing to regularly post different content on 10 accounts seems completely insane to me.
You just automate them. You create a circlejerk of bots voting each the other, and mine Hive for tokens. It's all the rage in the most substantially staked circles. Hive is becoming a pure circle jerk of bots, that the whales are using to strip the rewards pool for ROI.
This plan is the death of Hive, because it eliminates actual human users, and it is human beings that comprise actual society that uses social media. Simulating society simulates prosperity, and the profiteers that do this will simulate wealth - and that is the opposite of having actual wealth.
That is a shame. I can see why someone would be tempted to do that from financial perspective. But that would take all the joy from making content...
Exactly. Human society is the real source of value of all commercial activity, and every trick or cheat fails to stand on a solid foundation that advances human society, and that will eventually outcompete commerce founded on flimsy tricks instead of advancing human felicity.
