@onlinemoneygurug was created just 9 days ago, and onlinemoneyguruu 2 days ago. Both via blocktrades, which transferred hundreds of dollars worth of STEEM and SBD to the `g` account, which transferred some to `u` account.

They authored the intro post and used every bid bot in town, trying to bump it up. Even after transfers the combined value of the two accounts is over three times the average annual Indian income. I don't think we need to feel bad for this person, this is cynical behavior plain and simple.

Voting against the _ongoing vote_, reducing the current _pending payout_ is completely defensible. It is using #introduceyourself tagged posts with bid bots to try to engineer a positive feedback loop of external votes because of the artificially inflated exposure of trending page.

Though not insignificant, the amount transferred out of the accounts to pay for bidbots is a fraction of the _pending payout_ of the post. It still has a long way to go just to cover the cost of the bots, but that wouldn't even be a concern of mine. That's part of the gamble of transferring hard tokens for soft up votes.

Yes  but, the more it happens the more likely 'real' people will do similarly through social proof.  It was more for dramatic effect, I still flagged the account.

I haven't heard it put this way. I like it.

That's an original coinage 😉

Sure, I know what you mean, it wasn't meant as counterpoint, more as layout out the case briefly of this particular guy.
