Let's stick to known facts. These accounts are all following NO-ONE. They all post in succession between the same times three times a day. Strangely, not one of them has commented and asked why they have been downvoted and many are still posting away making me wonder whether they are simply bots...

Many of them are sending a few sports to NULL for no other reason than to make a profit. These profits will also be dented shortly.....

None have had any interaction at all with anyone else on Steem....

FARM. Simple. I will continue to downvote.....and where is your 'friend' @jutdagut ? has he no tongue in his head?

One other thing. Most of these accounts are a different set of accounts to the ones I and @erikah downvoted before. Have they been retired for now?

One final note......drop your sense of entitlement. Steem of which STS is a part, is not a money printing factory. It is a community of content creators and consumers. It is NOT a computer game where the aim is to gain free money for doing nothing. No one owes any one of us anything and rewards are decided by the communities and NOT by the most number of accounts or bots that post spam
