RE: #01 - The First Steemian Spammer Type

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm wondering if some of those Speedy Gonzales upvotes and comments are actually coming from bots. I've noticed the behavior that you mention - it's obvious nobody actually read the post if there's an upvote within seconds of publishing. (Even more obvious when someone has just posted a 15-minute D.Tube video) What has confused me is that sometimes the (number of votes > number of views). How is that mathematically possible? It means that more people have voted on the content than actually viewed it? That's what led me to the bot hypothesis.

I believe those people use upvote bots or automate the task with a software, maybe they do that for the curation!
