opening 2-4 more accounts, isn't that what this post is about? i am verbalizing the atrocity i am seeing when someone does open the 2-4 accounts and its still part of making crazy steem and posting a meme and bad quality content to boot. i could have sworn you mentioned that above. there are those that are "curating" by major trails on separate accounts as well and getting applauded for their ingenuity.

Well assuming the other votes don't matter, and hey, you might pick up some new friends, >reputation amongst peers might, so the best method (that I have sadly observed), is to create >an alternate account.

Or 2.

Or 4.

4 Is good. 4 accounts producing two pieces of lower quality content a day, receiving two full votes. Add those to the 1 or 2 votes you give yourself each day, and it's a wrap. The added bonus here is that you don't even need to respond and build a community around those accounts, just produce the content, (yes meme's are good) don't engage, and slap your vote on it.

there are people who comment amuck and CJ all day long, most of their upvotes are coming from their friends and they barely read the content.

seems to be a commonality on steemit and one i have seen over and over in the 160 days i've been on this platform. if there was a way for me to assist in cleaning this platform i would totally lend a hand. for now, what can we do?
