Here is how people pay for those Upvotes you see on the Steemit Tre...

Ever wonder how people buy those upvotes to get on Trending? It's SUPER easy as long as youre logged into Steemconnect! So anyways, @yabapmatt is a steemian who created steembottracker https;//steembottracker.com (And you can upvote him as a witness if you wan't to support his work here on Steem https://steemitcom/~witnesses and also vote for @jesta @fyrstwitness @neoxian ) So this @steembottracker tool is a great visualization & Graphic User Interface (GUI) of a whole list of most profitable Upvote Bots. An Upvote Bot is a steem account that let's people send it SBD or Steem with the steemit link in the memo and they just sell their upvotes. Many are upset with this, and some have even drafted up some new self regulations for steem, to stop abuse of these tools and free up trending for more "organically" upvoted content. So this would be the opposute of steem bot tracker! https://steemit.com/steem/@heimindanger/operation-clean-trending This is the post @heimindanger made and here is his new website that sorts all the posts on trending and shows us who used upvote bots and tells us what percentage their vote money is from Paid Upvote bots :D ! https://steemwhales.com/clean-trending/ It let's you sort out the trending page and I must agree that we should at least have a BRIGHT or Unmistakable BADGE on every PAID post that says AD just like Reddit and Instragram and every other website on the internet! We should be shown when a post has used Upvote bots, AND we should be allowed to turn OFF those advertised posts, that is OUR FUCKING RIGHT and we will DO it with our OWN chrome browser extension so don't you DARE argue against the idea that we shouldn't;t ALLOW users to TURN OFF the paid posts that used upvote bots for 51% of their posts! That is OUR RIGHT & even if steemit icn doesn't do it, we will use our OWN front ends, apps AND use our own CHROME extensions like @armandocat 's Steemit Plus or Steemit Extra Info extension! THIS is the answer, we can IDENTIFY these posts and cut them out from our OWN browser!
