I really like HF19 and I think it is going to do a lot of positive things for the platform but I guess like anything you are going to have little rat bastard chumps. This guy who goes by @crypto-p just goes around commenting on posts but doesn't upvote the post even at 1% and then goes ahead and graciously upvotes his half assed comment. He did that on my post and then I looked at https://steemd.com/@crypto-p Here are the results.
He was doing the same thing to everyone else as well. Not giving people even a 1% upvote. This is actually the kind of behavior that will drive people away from the platform. We went through the sock puppet era where some of the whales were creating fake accounts and then upvoting the posts to drain the reward pool. this is the same kind of behavior on a lower level.
I don't know what we should do about it as of yet but I will remember this little bastards Steemit handle.
Thank you for reading my post and please consider following me @brianphobos

It gets worse. He as telling new users that he followed them. Not knowing any different and not checking to see if he actually did they would follow him back. So he has a bunch of followers now.

Yes I went through this too. Comments and no upvote. So then you ask them"what did you like about this post" or something like that...and nothing.
I didn't check out their record though, good on you!

Yeah these guys are going to be a mess but with anything we will just have to clean it up somehow. What makes the most sense is to get a team together of to make a list of the ones that only do that all day everyday and then basically a whale will align with the group and flipper slap the living shit out of these guys. Then their reputations will be ruined and it will negate their earnings.

Yep. @jerrybanfield did a post explaining how you could double your Steem power in ~180 days if you have more than 100 to begin with, i view this as a major issue myself.
This discourages people to actually use the website as a decentralized blogging/social media site and encourage people to use this as a money making platform, but what they don't realize is, in efforts to milk the platform for personal gain, it might drive the price down sharply thus rendering their self upvotes useless.
Of course, I'm talking about the scenario where a significant fraction of users start doing it
Tl;dr: if everyone started doing it, Steem will be worth a few pennies real soon

Yeah I saw @jerrybanfield 's post on that but I'm not sure if his calculations were 100% correct. Regardless of if it was spot on or not we know that people could really yank a lot out of the reward pool by doing this. If enough people think it is "unfair" people start dropping off like what happened last time.
I think even despite this there is a lot more money floating around and the people with the higher reputations don't want to risk it because they will get exposed pretty fast for doing it and people remember that stuff.

True, but for moderate reputation users, there will be some temptation to do this and a great chance to get away unnoticed too.. They might even be able to power down and cash out in time before crashing the website, there definitely is that danger

Unfortunately I noticed that as well. I doubt there is much we can do about it.
Just don't upvote their comments etc. and focus on the people that make a real effort here...

Yeah I think there are going to be a lot of these types of guys and unfortunately it will likely result in a large flagging war. Like there will be a group just to search out these little pecker whips and then they will be partnered up with whales to flag all their stuff to just negate their earnings. And their reputations will get destroyed.

Also, I get upvoting your own posts (it does that automatically), but is upvoting your own comments not a bit weird? I am a minnow here, so don't really know the etiquette yet.

It sucks to say it but we are going to have to police this crack babies. Just round them up and have the whales blow a high pressured stream of water right in their face and then flipper smack the shit out of them.

And did you notice he was way up on the list for that Top 20 list you had where you are 20th spot. He is way up from his little spammy comments and upvoting himself. It will catch up to him sooner or later.
