Steemit downvote bots? Last week increased action

in #steemit6 years ago

Anyone else getting random downvotes from new users that seem like bots? They have no posts, no comments, and are down voting original recipe posts and personal blogs. None of which have any connection to anything spam related.

i have seen many posts for calling out spammers and abusive users in other ways. But down voting content randomly with no clear motive or reason is bad for steemit. I work hard on my food blogs and political opinion pieces. How do I report this?

It has never happened before last week. Now happens almost on all my posts.

All have downvoted me last week. None have any posts. None have intromyselfposts. All aee around 25. So it doesnt hurt as much as annoy.

just trying to help keep steemit purer

Steemit has become skynet, robots are downvoting upvoting and replying, you are lucky to get a reply of a human! Or am I....... beediiii beediiie beedeeep

A robot named cheese? Errorrrr does not compute 🤖

Fair enough. But downvote bots. Wtf

agreed, Steemit really doesn’ t work well right now, out of thirty posts I probably onky had robots reply to me, including downvote bots.
Nobody seems to curate anymore, just people trailing others or selling their votes for others to use, it seems like skynet to me.... it is good for those at the top coz, they tend to be trailed! So don’t expect Steemit to ever change 😁, hopefully someone starts a better platform, as I am starting to belief Steemit is not going to become what I hoped it would.

I can still get news unfiltered. Thats why I joined. And am able to discuss topics of politics w more intelligence than twitter and Fb. But the weighed voting for whales, who r cirlce voting, and bots makes steemits good idea beyond frustrating . Agree on future hope of another site to have pure block chain social media
