I suggested long ago: Those with the long signatures should simply write an "About the author" post and link that down at the bottom with a much smaller signature. Then they can fill up that post with as much spam and bullshit as they want. Nobody is reading it, they're trained to scroll past. Anything new gets overlooked... totally pointless. They could also copy/paste their junk into the first comment under each post. Whatever though... it's like talking to a wall.
So many look for that easy road. The shortcut. They don't read the fine print, they just see $$$. Then they find out their tricks and exploits didn't work, they blame Steemit... and quit. I've seen that numerous times.
