There appears to be a small number of people who are circumventing the spirit of Steemit by colluding to make undeserved up-votes (and sharing award money amongst themselves) and not posting original content or content worthy of a post. To put it succinctly, it's a scam. It's was called out yesterday by @transisto and resulted in much talk by those in the know who put the platform first. @berniesanders is the first to act. Both these are people you could follow to stay abreast of things. There will be more looking to make things right.
