Hi @steemchiller.

I don't know whose attention I should draw this, so I am drawing this to your attention with the hopes you can pass it on to the appropriate people.

I am on a curation trail and find that something is wrong with how it is supposed to work. As you can see, some curations give a 100% upvote.

There isn't any content in the post that is being upvoted:

Looking at the account's posting history, it appears a bot is creating non-content posts and then is being upvoted intermittently. This pattern applies to the other accounts receiving 100% upvotes.

Not only is this filling the database with junk, but it is also syphoning value from the Steem currency.

Hi @dwarrilow2002, thanks for the info! I've downvoted a few of their posts, but I guess they will return in one form or the other at some point.

I recommend to think about manual curation or chosing a curation trail that doesn't upvote shit posts. Who is running the curation trail you joined? Maybe you can contact them and tell them about it.

At this stage, I think the bots are running the show. This is the Steem Skillshare (link here) curation trail. None of the original members are posting anymore (or are available on discord). This is an example of the curation trail recruitment. The person who was supposed to run the trail was digital.mine as reported by the.journal in this post

@digital.mine is currently powering down.
