RE: How to Make Effective Comments that Build A Following

Well, I think it is not profitable for them right now. I think next step for Steemit is to ban any accounts which have more than 5 accounts from the same IP address. Because they are upvoting their own spammy posts. That is how they are successful on here.

Sort:  

Not much point since it only affects steemit and no other services that work with the steem blockchain. I tested randowhale and got roughly 1 dollar for 50c so it's still profitable. Guess we will wait and see what changes they make to the steem blockchain

well I can't say I have been here for that long but I joined Steemit before the fork and ppl were anticipating big $$ AND IT WAS SPAM CENTRAL , to the point where I didn't bother to even post or write anything for a few weeks cause it would instantly disappear .Although there is still too much spam content, plagiarism and abuse, it is getting better tho, like you said ,they give up after a few weeks once they realize it's not profitable and Steemit isn't a get rich quick platform. There are also some users outing the spammers one at a time ( thankfully).

Rather spend my votes promoting good content. But as you said it's good to see people downvoting spam.
