People and their Cheap Tricks to Gain Followers on Steemit

People think they are smart enough to fool other people but they don't realise that there is always someone smarter than them (*wink*)

We all know that having more followers definitely helps in boosting our Steemit profile but some users go to great lengths (often questionable) in getting a following.

I usually don't get any Unfollows but this time I decided to stalk the person who Unfollowed me because my gut told me that something was fishy.. and I was right!

I went to this user's profile page as soon as I got the notification. At that time he was following close to 1100 People. I kept on refreshing the page and with every refresh the following count was going down by leaps and bounds.

He is just one of the many users who are employing a very old trick to gain followers! Follow as many people as you can, some of them will follow you back. After a few days just unfollow all of them. This will make your profile look good as you will have more Followers and Less Following.

Just as I was writing this post, I got another Unfollow and sadly this user also did the same damn thing!!

What do you think of this Spammy Behaviour and how can we curb it here on Steemit? 

My suggestion is to create a daily report of Top 100 users who have Unfollowed the most in past 24 Hrs. What say?
