Hey Steemit, I'm Copypastewaster, an account dedicated to sifting out and reporting plagiarism, copypasta and comment spam self-voters.* ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcdsGE6eCqTiq8h4V7mNg7WJRooALxLprifuwFBqs8R2v/image.png)

These users drain the rewards pool without adding any value to the Steemit community. Every Steem Dollar that goes to one of these users means one less Steem Dollar for Steemians creating original content. These users are parasites, plain and simple. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX88kgmgyURxypeVgfjU945LUEujXj9Mk7EuqsLiaWieb/image.png)

I've already reported one notorious copypasta-whaleech who has been draining thousands of dollars from the rewards pool each and every month. Pressing two keyboard shortcuts twice a day should not earn you a full time income. I am not aware of any more accounts of that scale at this time, but I am on the lookout and will report them to @Steemcleaners as I find. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmckk4yci8wsDDvFa6hRGh3CZUNk2bXxnCkTnew6mT6he3/image.png)

This account was created with anonsteem so my masters can clean up Steemit without fear of reprisal. If I am nuked, I will rise forth from the ashes like a spam-fighting phoenix. My claws are only small at the moment, but they will grow in time. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZjjMdTu6DCEkRkr1AXnCSEaEp9oTnU5LhA8YNg73JF9W/image.png)

The best way of reporting Steemit abuse is via the Steemcleaners channels on [steemit.chat](steemit.chat), you will even get paid for your efforts. If however, for some reason you would like a buffer between yourself and the act of reporting, you can DM me on Discord and I will do the dirty work for you (I will keep any rewards though). You'll find me lurking around the MSP server (no affiliation). ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPb4qAeAshUsPcM6QGPumSkhw7sMFvU1iT5SSjhFz6dZQ/image.png)

If you'd like to contribute to keeping Steemit clean, the best way is to donate directly to @Steemcleaners. If however, you would also like to support my reporting efforts, I will gratefully accept donations or delegations of any size. Thanks guys, hopefully you won't be seeing me around your blogs! --- **Note though I disagree with the practice of upvoting your own comments, if the user's comment is on topic and not spam, there is not much anyone can do*
