I wasted another few minutes of my life today, checking to see how long it would take me to find another ring of accounts..

First try..

JerryB's bot ^

There are more, but in the interest of time...

The account stratilatkryuko@stratilatkryuko buys votes for a small network of Accounts. The money gets swapped around and eventually leaves steem.

I guess this person might just be generous.

It buys votes for a number of accounts
vampiretta@vampiretta
annaguzc@annaguzc
tanata@tanata
natalyaborqo@natalyaborqo
garik-vrn@garik-vrn

I didn't spend much time on it, but I couldn't find one human engaging with any of these posters.

To be fair they also put some money in to keep up the activity. Although it goes out of the other accounts.

Once again, I will send it to themarkymark@themarkymark. He can update the blacklist if he so chooses.

With the price this low and real activity continuing to fall, I feel like this is a shame, but I also think we deserve it. The white paper says, not all abuse can be stopped, but it doesn't say abuse should be ignored.

This is one of the reasons real content can't get visibility and it is draining not just the reward pool but the price of steem.

I'm not an abuse finding police type of person. I do not enjoy doing this, and no one enjoys hearing about it.

Yet, I can't ignore that it is happening.
