Those are all a single account. They were mined and not obtained for free using Facebook. The person who mined them spent a lot of money mining steem power and the account names. You can think of all the accounts that you have pictured as one mini-whale account. You will see more of "us" voting in the future.
I hope you enjoy.
@badger311 Cool but be careful, accounts with low or no rep voting too often for a user can cause a post to actually drop off the feeds. I call this "malicious upvoting". It happened to @trogdor recently.
Anyways, if you want to point some of that voting power my way for this post, I'd be much obliged...

Can I ask what you saw of so much value in those posts? You have the right to vote on anything, but wondered what specifically drew you in or if this was someone you knew. Why wouldn't you have a single account though. Is it better to have multiples?

I pick topics to upvote because I think they make good topics. Pakistan is a good topic and I like to learn about it.
These accounts are multiple accounts because each account can only be represented once in the mining queue. If you have enough mining power, you may want up to 150 accounts so that you don't run out of accounts to put in the queue and waste mining power.

Ah. Cool man! Thank you for joining the conversation.
It is an honour to speak with such a dedicated miner... It did not don on me that someone would be using such a large number of accounts to upvote stuff.

I see. That makes a lot of sense since Pakistan is indeed a unique topic and should lead others to also write about it and expand knowledge of it.
You have enlightened us all thank you for taking the time to do so. I have a totally different perspective of what you are doing now.

Technically, having multiple accounts is not a "illegal" here in Steemit. Much like having multiple smartphones is not illegal. Furthermore, it is not a illegal to mobilize these multiple accounts to vote for a post. I just think it's unethical to vote for a post that may have been "plagiarized" and nothing to prove that it was actually the author's work. And I am not only referring to the post in question. I am referring to all posts with the same level of quality and content.
But then again, Steemit is a free community and if we think a post does not deserve the rewards it receives, we can always counter. The thing is, if we are against a whale and as minnows like us, they can just swallow us up and spew and swallow again 100x over.

If I was pulled over here in Canada and I had 20 cell phones they'd either think I was a thief or a drug dealer.
I can see from the miners stand point the benefits of having such a wild amount of accounts..!

You said it yourself...it's suspicious at the most and unethical at the very least. I think having different identities is ilegal in any country of the world.
@smooth has almost 100 different accounts (I got this number directly from him so there's no secret about it). I've jokingly "investigated" them here.
He transfers SP in a cycle, so he gets Steem daily by powering down from many of them. Yes these are the rules of the game, just don't expect zero controversy, questions and doubts.
This and many other issues are evident and not very good for the integrity of the platform. Don't expect companies or smart investors to start throwing big money over here any time soon.
