Reeeeally? That doesn't seem very fair to those who are legit with one account attached to their phone numbers. That should be fixed otherwise things can get out of hand in my opinion. I could just have 1,000 accounts with ten buddies and just upvote crap day and night and destroy people actually putting themselves into posts and not trying to game the system. Could be a big problem for STEEMIT if it gets out of control dont you think?

You still have to pay for the Steem to power up new accounts.
