Wasn't DMania recently called out for abusing their granted permissions? What is it with the people behind these apps and bots? They all came here because they disliked how FB and the others operate, then they do the same shenanigans. I've recently read and had conversations with other Steemians about this, and many think it is OK, and give the trite answer that, its a free market, anything goes.

now this all deserves a data post me things........(rushing off to get some data.....will do a post tomorrow)
I can’t wait to see that. I hope the BI community can create some kind of monthly audit to check in and maybe keep a few of these places a little more “honest.” By sharing their findings about apps.
With how high the stakes could become in the future I can only imagine a few bad apples will want exploit anything they can for an edge.
We really need to replace the top witnesses on Steemit, as their inaction encourages this. Many are in on the game. This is where the rot begins. Whoever was behind the hardfork 17 must have known that self upvoting and Steem delegation would be abused. Yet it was sold to the minnows that it would improve things for them. Wrong. It has largely been to the sole benefit of the whales.
Bring back the n2 and the whale experiment!
Looking forward to this Paula!
disappointed, the DB only hold the name of who follows who. I wanted to see timestamps so I could map all of this out. There is no real benefit of producing a data report when all it will list is a couple of thousand names :-( sorry
=(
Well that's an oversight in Steemit blockchain design. Blockchains are all well and good, but are only as useful as the data they store.
The data is stored in the blockchain. It's not being transformed completely into SteemSQL.
So, would there be a way for @paulag to pull out the dates and times of when one profile followed another?
Yes but right now it's not easy to extract arbitrary data. You'd need to iterate through the blockchain programmatically.
Hivemind is software being developed currently to make this much easier.
not from steemsql, and I cant code to access the block.
