(13.14) a) To answer this question in relation to Spaminator (it is phrased for Steemcleaners), the following numbers are true to today:
- Spaminator's activities are not classified by 'action' but by 'owner'
- it is meant to mitigate the impact of large account clusters and high-frequency actors
- there are 65,193 accounts presently on the Spaminator blacklist
- there are 642 groups (account clusters) in total
- largest group is called 'dart' and has 21,698 automated accounts with regular creation of new ones through the means of faucet exploitation
- second largest has 3,469 accounts
Spaminator's regular queue ranges from approximately 1,500 accounts at the lowest to over 10,000 at the highest. Here is a small screenshot of what Spaminator looks like:
The end goal of Spaminator is to help create an ecosystem where that queue drops down to zero because there is no more systemic exploitation.
