I'm looking into it - just took a short break to let you know. I've been trying to find some clues, but so far all I have is that all accounts I've already checked were active up until 3 to 5 months ago, then they stopped posting.
They don't seem to be targeting new users specifically, because they've also been downvoting posts and comments of users with a reputation score of 60+.
Through steemworld.org I can only go back 1 week, but it appears there has been no downvoting today, nor yesterday. On the 16th and the 17th, they have all been downvoting the same people, both posts and comments.
Some downvotes were acceptable, like the downvotes on the post that contained only a full stop. But other articles are quality articles. It seems the downvoted posts and comments are often related to Dsound or Dtube, but I need to look into that a little more.
They all have a different amount of SP, from 300sp up to 20 000SP.
It's almost impossible the accounts belong to different people.
At first, I thought there might be some relation to the steem Flag Rewards initiative, but that isn't so.
I'll need to think of a way to follow up on the behaviour of these accounts, trying to find a pattern...
Yeah it is really strange, sometimes they downvote a lot, sometimes they only sell their vote and all of this with delegation bought from blocktrades.
It looks a little bit like the accounts where hacked.
The day they flagged the linked post, they flagged some more newbies. I didn't had a closer look at it later.

I just found an introduction post they flagged so it is now hidden 'due to low ratings'. If you take a look at the post, it is f**ing cruel!

I noticed they indeed all receive money from Minnowbooster.
And that some of the posts they flag are new, but some are 4 months old.
To be honest, I can't make head nor tail of it...
You know, these things just piss me off. Of course there are reasons to downvote a post, but these downvotes seem to be completely random.
Last time I came across something like this (and that was only 1 person who downvoted 1 other person) it made me so angry that I was willing to sacrifice my own account by making it public. My post would of course be downvoted by the same person, who is powerful enough to completely destroy my reputation.
Fortunately, someone calmed me down, and I never wrote the post.
But now I'm seriously thinking about writing a post about this.
No tagged names, just screenshots. But still, it's a risk.
So far for freedom of speech and decentralization ... :0(
But maybe I can collect some data and report it to Steemcleaners or so.
I'm taking screenshots and going to ask around if anything can be done against it. I know some people who might now...
Yeah I already made sure that blocktrades knows about it, but I don't know if they will revoke their delegation Or something.

I wrote everything I found out in a report, but at the moment, there's no one around in the Steemcleaners Discord channel. I'll try again in the morning. It's 2am, and I really need to get some sleep :0)
