RE: Fighting back against the spam accounts

in #steemit7 years ago

I only follow those whose work I find interesting @joanstewart. I won't follow someone just because they follow me. The only way I ran into the accounts mentioned above is because they are blindly just following people (75,000 odd in the Ramsay case). How do we encourage other people to not blindly follow when they're frustrated by low post returns and are only too happy to have more followers (even though these accounts hardly ever upvote any comments and hardly engage with followers)?

I sincerely hope the other "teams" are enforcing a no spam policy with their members but it still doesn't solve the problem of the spammers who don't belong to those groups.
I know it's like playing whack-a-mole. For every one we identify and report two more are likely to pop up but what else can we do?
