Which is precisely why Steemit needs to ACTIVELY PURSUE building a reputation (especially among the "penny miners" of the web) as a platform that is RUTHLESS about any kind of automated (and other) gaming of the system. If we can build a reputation as being "not profitable" for that kind of activity... then perhaps we CAN have a true game changer here.
This is the one thing that worries me about the value of the steem coin.
If the market believes that too many individuals are gaming the system, the perceived value of the currency will drop.
That's one of the reasons why we need to try and combat these cheats!
