They either power up these accounts or secretly delegate sp to brand new accounts and use scripts to follow certain authors at certain intervals. Basically get them to do anything they want to around here, especially upvoting. :)

That's not very fair.
Are the new account owners made aware?
No i meant, the bot owners can create new accounts for themselves.
In fact in the early days a few have created thousands of bots. The total signups on steemit has atleast 50K bot accounts and name squatting.
Oh wow, that is insane.
I value talent and hard work. It's sad many just value greed.
Yeah, a bunch of extra accounts is understandable, but Im taking thousands here. You can simply power them up and then down. Considering back then each a/c gave you 10 SP on signups unlike 0.5 now, powering them up to power them down means a LOT of SP multiplied by the number of a/cs you own! ;)
Then you can simply delegate SP to the same a/cs and have them follow you or author of your choice in a trail! :D
