I do't know who they are @mountainjewel but they're a pain in the preverbials!
My followers tally is slowing creeping towards 1000 but it's pretty meaningless. I have no idea how many of those are people.
Of the ones who've followed in the last couple of months I would guess about one in ten.
This, for me, is the down side of decentralisation.
It's blatant spam but it appears that there's nothing we can do about it. 😢
It would be great if there was a spam button that we could hit and then the code could check certain things like number of followers, length of comments etc. before flagging it.
At the moment these accounts are really easy to detect. they follow very obvious patterns.
right. i wonder where they're coming from?! our followers number is totally misleading, too! i suppose yes, it's just an unfortunate side effect of the nature of the platform. at least they don't seem to cause much harm besides "following"
Not sure about the harm @mountainjewel. I think the main purpose of these accounts is to create massive numbers of followers and then sell resteem services via our wallets.
Or there's some way of having hundreds of accounts and making money from thousands of tiny votes. Not sure how that's done! 😊
