Just like the title says.
Go on steemit , click on what's hot and you will see new posts 2-3 minutes old getting 40 + upvotes.
There is some1 with a ridiculous amount of accounts cheating the system, I dont know for what purpose exactly since he upvotes about anyone but this is just bad for the system I believe!
You can make the test yourself!
Update at 22:00 east time
The auto upvote bot seems to have stoped , they are probably set to upvote posts of certain categories between certain times.
here we go an other spam bro, I was just commenting on the other post
I agree it's weird to see. Haven't yet seen the real impact however as these bot accounts don't have a lot of steempower behind them (none I can see) but it does take away from the comments which I always like to read
But this can literally destroy a part of the curation system. And get people to ignore a post. But this is just bad and should be adressed
It's weird indeed! but we knew bots wars would start soon.
Autovote is active again right now: https://steemit.com/steemit/@meesterboom/adventures-with-a-leaky-garage-roof
If you look, it's always the same names coming out in the votes.
