In your own opinion, how can this issue be corrected? I want a sincere answer. You did not state how the culprits engage in the shady deal neither here nor in your article. It will be good if you can explain further.

Well, I have mentioned this in the report. It's a simple strategy

1. People follow thousands of people in hope that they will follow them in return
2. Some people do follow them back
3. After a few days or weeks they simply unfollow all people whom they had followed
4. This makes their followers numbers more than following and to a newbie user visiting the profile, it seems that these are really popular users

I think the numbers in the report are a clear indicator. No normal user can unfollow 15,000 people in 1 day

One solution is to curb the number of users we can unfollow or even follow in 1 day. 500px does that!

Your suggestion makes sense. I believe the witnesses are reading posts and some day this can be implemented in the steemit blockchain.
