I remember 6 months ago everything was bit better than it is today. We have so many spammers and hackers here. Fishing links everywhere, spam, begging for upvotes etc.
This is another confusing comment that I saw today. More than three accounts spamming and using this same message.
These are the 3 accounts that I found now and there are many others that I saw today morning. I dont understand why does it take weeks for normal people to sign up, while spammers do it without problems.
And even if there are paid accounts now, it is the same problem.They can buy even 1000 per day and spam . How many phone numbers and emails they use! I think we need ID verification to make everything safer here. Maybe also an account suspension system for spammer and hackers.
Did you realize how much they stole from different users in the last weeks and abused their accounts! Nobody could take any action against them and they transferred the money to Bittrex without any problem. But it is not over and they are still active.
This is one of them : https://steemit.com/@richardman/transfers
It seems like 50% of Steemit accounts are user by spammers, hackers and bots :(
50% seems generous... I always thought it was closer to 80% - There's only about 8,000 active users, after all
Seriously I felt too shy to say more than 50%, because I wasnt really sure. But you are absolutely right. Six months ago more users were active than today. In the last weeks I feel that we are just the same people writing everyday. Many old users left the platform or invested in bots. New users are lost and frustrated, because nobody upvotes their posts. Some of them leave the platform early and very few trying to be active and productive.
It seems that so many people write just a few posts, get disappointed they didn't get $200 from their first couple posts and quit.
Yes thats the problem. They need to be more patient and try different topics until they find success in one of them.
i'm a new user (within the last couple weeks) and i fully intend on staying! unfortunately there's not many 'whales' in the cannabis categories but i'll try 2 be the first one :D
youtube is banning all cannabis content creators and i've been encouraging as many as possible to switch to dtube and steemit.. not sure how many have though
Believe me everyone will move to DTube and Dlive It will take some time, but until the end of this year many things will change. On Youtube they are getting more views because it is an old platform, but I see Dlive is doing very well lately.
Lol.
This post has the story of those three accounts: https://steemit.com/hate/@therealwolf/staring-into-the-face-of-hate
Oops, I didn't read all the way down to see they had appeared here.
Oh now I understand what it is about! It is crazy, but many users need to learn more about Steemit and using apps, before blaming other.
