I've been doing "social content" for almost 20 years... and the endlessly copied tit-for-tat followback comments is about as useless a strategy as there is.
Sadly, it can also be a "site killer" if allowed to run rampant.
Any time you see copy/past comments and content, you can always report it to steemcleaners, as @felixxx suggested.
The person in question here is interesting in that the account is substantially "powered up" and the owner is upvoting all his/her own comments... worth some 60c per vote. That's "gaming the system" in the worst possible way.
It is so awful. I do want to spend some time with steemcleaners, because I think this is something we all need to be invested in at the very beginning so a different culture can grow and take root.
Ugh. We should flag him - I warned him already, and he is literally posting the same thing over and over and over again. @crypto-p. Very frustrating.
I just really don't like that kind of crap... the rest of us can report copy/past when we see it, and otherwise focus on creating the best possible original content.
Good point. It isn't fair to have to invest time in that. Probably you've got the reasonable mind on this. It just riles me when so many of us work so hard, and then others just ruin it. My hope would be that if it's cracked down on, and we habitually don't tolerate it, spammers won't waste their time here.
