The rewards on the Steemit platform can attract the attention of many users, some of them with the intention of abusing the system to farm Steem in a fraudulent way.

Historically, we have seen some accounts developing irregular activity, either by publishing repeated, plagiarized or AI-generated content, but on this occasion, I come to show you a community that, suspiciously, receives the participation of new users. The community I am talking about had already been reported previously, however, we want to add more evidence for what we consider farming activity.

The Steem Watcher team, committed to the well-being of the platform in general, keeps track of this community.

Next, we will talk about the activity carried out in the "Best" (hive-130673) community which had been reported in Weekly Report 71.

Firstly, I must remember that the administrators and moderators of "Best" have been identified as plagiarizing and farming accounts.

Now, as we have said recently, the "Best" community suspiciously maintains an activity based on new users that were created on the same date, almost simultaneously; On the other hand, these accounts only publish once, let's see:

#	User	Created

Although at first glance the reward is not that important, the truth is that these accounts publish placing the @sweet2 and @looo accounts as beneficiaries.

@sweet2	@looo	@looo

Let's look at the rewards record this week for these two benefited accounts.

• The account @sweet2 is currently in power down.

Rewards received in the last 3 days.

Rewards pending during this week.

• The @looo account was created recently, specifically on 30/09/2024.

Rewards received in the last 3 days.

Rewards pending during this week.

In summary, each account that shares content in this community is part of a Steem cultivation plan, which is carried out through the massive creation of new users.

Each content goes through a variety of tools that serve to verify the authenticity of the content of each publication.
