When I first started in Steemit one of the things that I was impressed was the reputation of accounts.
Here I was a Reputation 25 and I saw the first people that were guiding us had reputation of 55 or higher and some even at 60 already.
Then their followers were at a thousand followers so in my mind I wanted to be at 1000 plus followers and 60 plus reputation.
Fast forward to 6 months and I saw that the number of followers is of no use unless you use busy.org and then your followers total SP will be of use unless they are all 15 SP lol but then 15 SP multiplied 1000 accounts that is still 15,000 SP and would give you an upvote from Busy every12 hours hahha.
Yet it is alarming how many bot accounts are being created while real users take long to have an account set up.
The setting up of accounts is getting faster now. A friend of mine only had to wait 2 days, a marked improvement on my 3 week wait last February. They are doing better in that respect.
These fake accounts, I have no idea what they are about.
