This account is not about farming HIVE tokens or trolling the community, but more about farming the tribal L2 tokens. One has to just look at who is upvoting these posts to see why and what tribal tokens these accounts hold.
Yesterday whilst looking through the Sportstalk tribe one account stood out for all the wrong reasons being @blurt.media. Maybe a troll account, but definitely an account used to farm HIVE and more importantly the L2 tribe tokens. Quite smart if you think about it as they know they will most likely get downvoted by someone for the HIVE rewards, but chances are the tribal tokens will remain intact because of the stake these accounts have that are supporting these posts.
The problem is those supporting these posts have tons of tribal tokens and we know certain accounts like @ctime,@mmmmkkkk311,@bluesniper to name a few who have been investing in tribal tokens for years. I noticed some of the names voting on these posts are still buying up more tribal tokens so this is not about growing their HIVE accounts.
Just to get an idea @ctime has $4K or 394 Million sports tokens which I could take to $0 by selling my stake and which I will most likely do this week so if you have sell them. This is the only way we can combat this properly and we will rebuild a new tribe with realistic tokenomics. The 3 combined have over $10K in value and this sends a clear message. I noticed these accounts all have a fair whack of GAMER tokens of around $500 each. We must pay attention and not think just in HIVE terms as this is not good for the tribes.
Over the next week or so I will investigate this further and see how widespread this is as this cannot be just one account posting and there has to be many more.
How bad is this abuse you might be wondering as I counted 121 active posts under @blurt.media. Thank fully I have some tribal tokens so I can remove some of this abuse, but suggest any of the tribal curation projects look into this abuse and put an end to this as quickly as possible.
I will take care of Sportstalk, but there is LOLZ. PEPE, MEME,POB, TRIBES,ZEN, CENT, WAIVO and others being farmed under your noses. This is not about the HIVE rewards as they have all been removed and will be removed by myself and others going forwards, but the tribal tokens. These accounts have millions of what we may deem as worthless tribal tokens, but they will be worth far less if this is allowed to continue. If I am quite honest I do not care much about the tribal tokens, but this is more about the principle and removing abuse when you see it. I used to be heavily involved within the sportstalk tribe, but that project seems to be abandoned these days and is taking decentralized to the max lol. Maybe next cycle I can get enough funds together and build a new sports tribe because what we have is no good and the abuse is that bad and ultimately the tokens are worthless.
There are multiple posters using this account and why the numbers of posts are so high as it is a continuous stream of abuse hitting the feed throughout a 24 hour period. This may seem like nothing for now, but I know the last time we saw the all time high's back in 2021 even the tokens that were deemed to have no value had some value so much so my L2 tribal tokens had a value exceeding $25K.
I suggest if you have been accumulating your tribal tokens and have 10 minutes then just drop a down vote on these posts and forget the HIVE as that is already 0, but remove the tribal tokens that are hidden.
