That's a start.
As of this writing, there's a gentleman on trending who introduced himself at the cost of around $400 US. That behavior creates a paywall of $400 just to say hello on this platform. That paywall only exists because of these bots and those who run them. If this place wants to be a disruptive technology and see 1 billion members using various apps and sites, the playing field must remain accessible to as many walks of life as possible. That can't happen now. Not like this. People can say hello anywhere else in the world, for free. So, something needs to be done. It's getting out of hand and it's painfully obvious where it will lead. People come and leave before they even get started.
What I am more confused was that the guy is from Bangladesh an area where bitcoin is illegal. The guy has guts to show his photo.
Follow the money. Look at the wallet. It'll raise a few eyebrows. Certainly raised mine.
your right , the "new" user appears to be an old one by the username audreylogan- a former upvote seller
Exactly, and I suspect the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper than that. It's just another instance of abuse out of thousands. Not many serious content producers want to take part in this nonsense. It's all a big joke now and it's due to these bots. These developers working on new projects will not have a user base if this continues. Many people here stand to lose a lot of money if nothing is done.
I have to go.
