RE: Steem Debates
I had this thought: if the account produces original and interesting content, what difference does it make who is behind it? Do we need this hard work of verifying accounts? Maybe just plagiarism and AI checks are enough? A scammer will always look for easy money, he will never write posts himself.
I’ve debated that myself too. But if somebody’s entering a contest with 5 entries and honest people are entering with 1 then irrespective of the hard work they’re putting in, they’re cheating. It’s unfair and will become a deterrent to honest users. So they’ll either leave or start cheating themselves.
If they manage to share interesting and original content across multiple accounts, then they must have a reason for it - like my multi-account chaos 😂 But it’s generally to enter contests. If not straight away, then definitely after they’ve been validated.
I just wrote a reply to inspiration’s steem rep. update that might be of interest. I’d link to it but I’m on my phone so it’s too much effort 😉
