As some of you might know, I've only been active here for a week.
During that time though, I've noticed something that's been creeping me out a little bit. Maybe it's the whiskey, or maybe it's the lack of sleep, not sure. But I think I'm just going to come out and say that I suspect most accounts on here are, how can I put this politely?
Screw it. Fake.
Most of them, as in 80% . Especially ones that keep pasting stories from National Geographic. Why Nat Geo? I wish I had an answer for you, Family. I really do.
Every time I hit "New" (I won't touch "Trending" or "Hot" with a bilge pole), there they are. Story after story about the curious habits of whatever creature is being showcased.
That yellow rectangle.
That fucking.
Yellow.
Rectangle.
Taunting me, with the number 25, always next to their names, like some sick conspiracy.
Am I the only one who sees this? I refuse to believe that.
You must have seen the plagiarized content backwashed between these accounts over and over again. Where do they come from? Is it some sort of hive-mind? Are they just individuals who figured they'll just copy/paste themselves into all the Steem they can dream of?
Should I just get used to it?
Or more importantly, can they be stopped?
