RE: Steemit creates accounts for scammers... and nobody else?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Perhaps having an already established account gives you a preferential treatment? Or maybe the people who validate accounts are corrupt and get a cut? Or maybe it is coincidence (this one is not likely)? Perhaps these people pay to have their accounts created quickly? Perhaps the validators are bots, and give bots preference over real people? Could be any reason, it also is not good for Steemit and even though hard fork 20 should fix the account creation for new users it will, I think, also make the creation of these spam bot accounts more prolific.
