I don't know about you but i don't always rely on seeing and reading only the posts on my feed, i also search for posts based on three tags. These three tags are cryprocurrency, bitcoin and sports in order of preference.
A few days ago, i was checking out sports posts after i had read a few posts on cryptocurrency and bitcoin. I saw a lot of posts a lot of posts by the same author, each separated by just a few minutes and had each had -1 as the number of upvotes. I felt pity for the author, looking at his reputation score.
Out of surprise, I took a screenshot that shows a few of the posts.
I was curious because it was my first time of seeing something like that on this platform. So, i clicked on one of the posts just to check who has voted and behold it was the almighty and i found out that this bot was downvoting all the posts, leaving a comment on each occasion.
I don't know if the guy in question is guilty or not guilty but i think that having a discussion on steemit.chat is the solution to get out of the blacklist.
