Recently, there has been a new wave of spammers (minimum 52 steem accounts - see list below) who publish various YouTube channels and their content here on Steem. Only the content, the description of the video and the video itself is published in one article. Unfortunately, these users always get the one and other Upvotes. A big thank you goes here to @condeas, which has helped enormously in the work to find out which accounts are affected. In the last few days I have downvoted some of these published posts.
The accounts also use the same profile picture that is posted on the YouTube channel... to give the impression that the Steem account is official. Some of the affected youtubers have already replied to the request if the account belongs to them. From some of them I received the following statement and want to prove this to you with this proof of fake:

That are 5 Steem Accounts, where it is confirmed that the accounts do not belong to the original author of the content. For me this is pure copy and paste spam, which I do not want to see on Steem. Continuously and with pure intention with the contents of foreign money earn, I can not agree with me and you should not do that. Some of the users post the content in the D-A-CH Community (German Community, where I'm a moderator) and I'm thinking about whether these users should actually be muted for this community. You are welcome to share this post in your community / cross post to draw attention to this problem.
The list of users and the channels with the author content. Thanks here to @condeas
Here is the list of users. The thick marked users are actually confirmed fake accounts.
(List is updated)
Proofed Spammer Accounts are:
- @breachedrosa
- @mslinari
- @vedantiy
- @krom11
- @xapu
- @minnyfy
- @vlasovaladas
and more are on the way.
You may now form your own opinion on whether the content that these users publish here is worth an upvote or should rather get a flag and be blacklisted. I for my part am angry about this and will not tolerate it. We have quite different problems at the moment ;)
Until then - Many greetings
@louis88
PS: Of course I would love to see the original authors of the content with their confirmed accounts here on Steem. Thanks for your attention.
