RE: 1000 fake accounts squatted by one person
Good point.
Do you know if it is against the Steemit terms to open more than one account?
I can think of many legimate reasons to open more than one account. For an example if you want to manage various industry blogs.
I only own one account myself, but I could easily see myself having the need to split personal topics from industry topics into different accounts. Is that accepted by Steemit?
Thank you.
You are hereby followed.

It's no problem to have several accounts so you have create different brands. And this issue is solved by delegated steem power.
Thank you. Couldn't this be a problem if people opened several accounts and then used them to upvote each other? Wouldn't that drain money from the system to those individuals who exploited this unfair advantage?
Sure. Hence my post. But it's limited to the stake they managed to collect.
But even if they receive nothing for free..
If for an example a user opens up two accounts and then deposits 50/50 to each out of his total budget. Then he goes on to use each account to upvote the other. That will make him earn the upvote + curation rewards. The curation rewards would not be included had he upvoted himself with one account only.
Wouldn't that drain the system somewhat?

Yes. But you risk flags if your posts are bad. Never forget to flag bad posts.
