RE: Exposing Steemit Voting Collusion [6 potential voting rings found]

in #steemit7 years ago

Not a programmer just a troll. They fished for a script https://steemit.com/steemit/@sigmundnash/is-there-a-steemit-api-capable-of-grabbing-latest-posts-and-its-upvoters ran it, mentioned every upvoter, made comments about voter rings (script has nothing to do with voting rings), and viola $8

I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt because you know we've seen "programmers" that don't have a lick of sense reguarding testing and a hefty round of peer review and worse unable to discern if they have proper query logic and evaluate what types of groupings they have really produced. BUT I'm also willing to admit your hypothesis could have some merit except it would take us from the world of ego-driven motives to the world of the insane wherein one hopes to be fed by the very hand one is biting. Admittedly ego-driven and insane can be a pair. I'm hoping for ego-driven programming novice and steemit newbie.

that is ridiculous. I used the api to feftch posts. after that the algorithm is called upon. did you not notice the remarkably significant amount of actual people that admitted to being involved in curation trails AKA voting rings? the algorithm had some merit, I just did not account for how offended the false positives would become
