Back in 2009, many people on Facebook had Star Wars names. I started adding like dozens of Yoda and Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and Leia and Han Solo and other character profiles. At that time, they were profile accounts and not Facebook pages.

Thanks for the advice on the scams and the bad people and the whores and ads and spam and marketing and advertisement and the bait and switch and everything that is happening. I have done some of those things too. I have pretended to be a girl at times. I study psychology and I can see both sides. I can play the Devil's advocate.

Real people make more money than fake people. Better content rise to the top. People are smart. Fake Steemit profiles will not continue to strive and rise like authentic accounts that are more genuine and more real. but fake accounts will make some money. Fake people and bad people will continue to make some money. That is capitalism. But the better ideas will do better, generally. Thank you. I'm Doctor Oatmeal Joey.
I'd differentiate between names or callsigns which can be anything vs. the content that the user is publishing, especially if there is deception in trying to eWhore for upvotes. Look at the example I showed above - the people who voted followed their (likely male) instinct and voted for what they (likely) thought was a real person.
That is what happens. It is deception. The world has deception. But it is also part of free speech. Freedom means being allowed to do bad things. They do bad things. If you stop them from doing bad things, then you take freedom from them.
