I think these are steemit employees, or at least contractors.

These can be considered as dan's sock puppets. Or other dev's.
According to https://steemdb.com/accounts/vest, some data showed in this post is stale.
Thanks @abit! I asked around in chat for all the Steemit employee accounts and currently have a list of 18. I'll add these to the list.
As to Dan's accounts, since he's no longer an employee and is voting on witnesses, I'm okay leaving them in there. The main reason to exclude Steemit employee accounts is because they are not currently voting for witnesses. I'm not sure if that's a company policy, but there was some talk in chat about it after Charlie Shem becoming the top witness because of their votes.
As to the stale data, I'll have to check with @arcange on how often STEEMSQL is updated. I can get this data myself directly from the blockchain, but it will take much longer to process.
Can you clarify which data is stale? STEEMSQL.com says this:
Compare it with the link I provided, or steemwhales.com, you'll know. VESTS amount of some accounts are different. For example, @another
57.310 kV is quite a bit different than 414,009,397 V. :(
Well that's concerning. If the data in STEEMSQL can't be trusted, I'll have to pull it fresh from the blockchain myself. boo. Thanks @abit.
Thankfully this was just a rare glitch. @arcange confirmed via chat:
@arcange was temporarily unavailable so it took longer than normal to get things fixed up, but it's all good now.
I'm glad to know the account data is usually reliable up to 10 minutes.
For much of my time here most votes were worthless (including my own). It was not uncommon to see great posts with many votes have a $0.00 payout. It's all a matter of expectations (which change and get re-anchored at a surprisingly fast pace). If authors are leaving because they are only making $0.10, where are they going? Back to Facebook, Medium, Reddit, and Twitter where they make $0?
I hear and understand your frustration. I know it all too well because it's exactly what I went through a year ago as I watched others complain and leave. Now look at my wallet to see if it was a good idea for me to stay and keep blogging.
If you're looking for some encouragement, scroll all the way back to my earliest posts where I tackled some of this (one addresses the true currency of Steemit is relationships). Who you know is exactly what matters, just like in real life. We are a social species, and it pays to be friends with people who have wealth because money is a certificate of appreciation. It means someone else gave them a token of value, something they earned via work away from their family, in order to appreciate the work done for them.
I wish you luck here because that's also what it takes: random chance.
I'm glad they were helpful!
That sounds pretty good! Maybe you should be doing that. What's wrong with enjoying your life more? For me, I'd still be doing this as I really do enjoy it. I don't post just for the rewards (see this example from 4 months ago). If you are interested in making money on Steemit, maybe this post will help: Last Week I Made $1,500 Worth of Cryptocurrency Blogging on Steemit. Here's How.
Either way, find your groove, find what works for you, and have fun. If you're not enjoying it, spend time doing things you enjoy instead.
