RE: The Irony Of Plagiarism/AI-Translated Text vs High Upvotes
Steemit is also like an exchange platform, some users look for different ways to get good rewards, this is achieved with votes from whale accounts, these votes can be bought with Steem, or in exchange for delegation, which in a certain way is legal, it is permissive. What is wrong is that some try to skip the platform regulations, publishing plagiarized, spam or repeated content, only with the intention of obtaining rewards without much effort.
Taking the example of @aneukpineung78 and the clarification of @moecki, a relationship must be made: If the investment was 102 Steem, and the user is about to receive 59 Steem Power and 59 Steem, it would be a total of 118, generating a profit of 16. In case he received SBD, the profits would increase.

- Even though the user generates a profit of 16, he loses liquidity, since 50% of the rewards go to SP, that is, he invests 102 liquid Steem and receives 59 Steem, so he must wait at least 3 weeks to complete the initial liquidity, or he has to invest 61 Steem to continue with his farming plan.
It should be noted that these types of users and content can receive significant downvotes, which substantially reduce the rewards, generating losses for their investment.
- On the other hand, returning to what @aneukpineung78 pointed out, there is a possibility that the transfer of Steem for the purchase of votes will not be effective, if we take into account the same case, the user has sent 4 transfers of the same amount:

But only one has been made effective.

This means that it will take longer to recover its liquidity.
That's actually a positive side to these practices! 👍
Not any more. Sometimes it takes a little longer and if it doesn't work at all, the amount is returned.

So the conclusion is that it's not worth it, right? =D
It's not worth it if it's applied for a single account, but normally those who do this have more than 10 accounts generating farming to multiply the profits, so it would translate into a profitable business (as long as it doesn't get discovered).
Wow! Never have thought it like that. In the past, I tried it just to get some understanding, I even made notes on MS Excel to see the graphic from time to time and from different vendors and rates. And the ones who I thought benefit the most were the seller. =D
Thanks, a great addition to my knowledge.
