I probably have enough members to compete at the Olympics 😆

@endingplagiarism, I wonder why it stopped? But, maybe it's a good news for some, since it could be a not-really-good sign for them if you're following. Why stop? Too many to follow? 😅😅

A combination of things but mostly:

1. the amount of time it took
2. the lack of consequence.

Initially, it worked well and the steemcurator accounts would downvote the abusers. But when the steemcurator accounts stopped downvoting, it was a lot of effort for little consequence. I'll still investigaate people every now and again - but generally people with access to booming or a steemcurator account. At least then, they can have their privilege removed and there's a consequence.
