Normal Night of Log Creeping

Went to go make a new account, whalewatcher@whalewatcher. Unfortunately it was made a month ago.

Steemd.com/@whalewatcher?page=2

What is interesting is that he only up votes one guy, pingpong@pingpong.

Inside this post is text like this.

Accounts bidding themselves over and over.PNG

These accounts lead to other accounts that do this.

I believe they call this a good old fashioned bid bot circle jerk

Other big players seemed to be voteboter@voteboter and votex@votex.

Notice anything weird?

It seemed hr1@hr1 may be partially complicit in this. He is shown to be a big player involved in this. jerrybanfield@jerrybanfield is involved but only cause he is a bid bot and they pulled him in by bidding.

As far as I can tell, hr1@hr1 is not a bid bot. So why the up votes for these accounts?

Flagging time?

I should be clear, I don't mean to flag hr1@hr1. Hr1 could not be malicious at all. He up votes a LOT of people. I just think the question should be asked.

I'm sure hr1 could spread light on the issue
