<div class="text-justify"> Prior to writing this post, I checked and I'm not the only one receiving these unusual upvotes. If you've not received these upvote/comments don't worry, it's just a matter of time before you do. Now, I should say I don't find them to be offensive or bad, I'm just curious as to why this is happening. How is this a business model? <center> <img src="http://middlesfur.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/confuzzled_2013_by_farukucostumes-d6yxvh1.jpg"> <a href="http://middlesfur.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/confuzzled_2013_by_farukucostumes-d6yxvh1.jpg">img src</a> </center> At first I had one account following me doing this, but it has become about five at this moment. I suspect they are not human operated, but bots, however I've not yet confirmed. Some of them actually request some donations/delegations, but all of them seem to be from chiseled from the same script. <center> <img src="https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcjEzBZVtFcwFgEL1Ki4FMraSq4Cku6yuDkEkUQtTKAvr"> </center> I guess I could dig a little deeper and find out who is operating these bots, if it's some sort of curation initiative or what have you, but because I don't necessarily see the harm in them, I've hesitated to put in the investigative work. Let's see how long they last, I suspect not too long, specially because they are renting out delegations for their "business model" and today, specially at these prices, that can't be sustainable in the slightest. </div> https://steemitimages.com/DQmW2fijoxrybX3Kg83HCgZZmZwF8SujXWvr3tn8YCUPCsw/meno%20logo.png
