I bet you're simply just going to find more and more and more of these spammers as time goes on. People are getting so smart these days and there s a select group of people that will always just exploit good things no matter the cost.
Do you think there will be a way in the future maybe that will help project against this?

I think the most important thing right now is for us decent people to show that we don't agree with the spam by flagging them. Ruin their reputation and their earnings so they know there isn't anything to gain from what they are doing.
There should be a better way to stop these people. Steemit isn't truly decentralized, right? @ned could change something that eliminates these characters. I don't care for regulation, but also can't locate and punch these turkeys in the face. There is so much vote power being wasted on policing the site versus rewarding content. @ausbitbank
Agreed. We need a hypothetical mathematical model that demonstrates the damage done over time to Steem through self-voting at different degrees:
Percentage of users doing it 0-100%.
Frequency of ave user doing it 0-100%
Measured impacts on Steem economy in terms of growth of:
A. Steem users,
B. STEEM value
C. Steem morale
D. Any other metric
We need to make our case and do public education.
That would be great, but I think part of what makes Steemit Steemit is the fact that it's run by its members mainly and curated by its members. We're all part of a nice little experiment about the mess that is humanity! :-)
Well said :)
