RE: Update to Weekly Steem Giveaway! Now Prize Comes With Option for Steem Basic Income Shares!
A large chunk of my followers are spam and bidbots unfortunately. The spam bots all have a 25 rep, post videos and make no comments. I had over 20 of them start following me the other day within minutes for some unknown reason. I wish there was a way to block them from following me..
Ikr... it makes the "following" number look very inflated. I wish there was a way to tell your number of active followers and the number of followers who actually upvote my content and comment haha
I mute the ones I know are bots so I can tell at a glance who are real people, when I look at the list.
I've noticed it too. Everytime I post a new content, there will be 5 or more new followers which happened to follow me at the same time. I checked some of then and they are exactly like what you have stated. Strange.
Yeah, the same thing happens to me when I post. I sometimes will get different ones who don't follow me voting on my posts with no real value.
I don't usually mind about people voting without no value. For me it's a sign that they might as well interested in your post or something. I can say they are real people but they are also like me who upvotes at 100℅ but still does not have any value since my SP is too low. 😂 But what is great about it is the support they gave. Keep on steeming! There are still a lot of surprises here that we will meet in the future.😂 God bless you.😊
I have no problem with votes with no value from real people. It means someone appreciates my work. I just dont like the ones from spam bots..
@paradigm4 ~ I have the same situation happening with a chunk of followers signing up at the same time. I don't understand what they get out of it.
@cryptoeater, this post by @steembasicincome shows graphs of users who interact with each other.

You can also go to the website mentioned in the post and put your own steemit id in, and it shows some interesting relationships.

Thank you for the links, I will definitely check them out. It is a really frustrating issue. It seems like the platform is being flooded with these spam accounts..
I know. But the graphs on that site show that there ARE inter-connections being made. Plug in your own user name and you'll see.
