RE: [Steemit Etiquette] Using 95+ Bot Accounts to Upvote your own Content. Fair Game or Not Cool?

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

Yep, I was experimenting to determine if the hot algorithm was game-able.
I did bring this to attention in my post where I discuss how crazy stupid sybils currently are. It's an important topic! I encourage you to read the sybil section in that post if you have not, yet.
I admit to it in my post:

if I want to upvote with all my VESTS, I cause a sybil attack and can immediately start trending on hot (it is quite silly)

I also responded to william banks explicitly saying I upvoted myself 100 times. (Ridiculous, right?)
