Observation and Analysis - The Firepower of Spamming
@kpine, @blocktrades, @thejohalfiles, @roelandp, @acidyo, @arama, @newsflash, @donkeypong, @steemaccess, @damarth, you may not know that you are SUPPORTING a SPAMMER of STEEMIT!
The spammer is @firepower. According to SteeM.V.P. (http://steemvp.com), @kpine is the biggest supporter of @firepower and followed by @blocktrades as the second. I don't believe these whales are aware of the fact that they were supporting a spammer. The major purpose of this post is to point this out and hopefully to get the attention of these whales, so they won't support spammers anymore.

Recently, @firepower went to the range of my radar by commenting two of my posts: Link1 and Link2. Even though he complimented my posts with the sweet words of These are some incredible pictures! I loved your work! and Fantastic photos of the beautiful beach!, he did not take any effort to upvote either of my posts.
I welcome any sincere comments, no matter it is compliment or criticism, long or short, with or without an upvote. However, I do not welcome SPAMS. Upvoting my post or not, as long as the reader reads my post and leaves a message, I would appreciate it, no matter how simple the comment is. If a reader reads my post and leave a simple comment such as 'Interesting', I would like to say 'Thank you' to the reader for spending time to read my post and leave message.
For Mr. @firepower, apparently it's not the case. Checking Mr. @firepower's history with SteemSQL, I found that he wrote 4,866 comments since September 1, 2017, more than 100 comments per day. Well, it's definitely possible to read 100 posts and leave comment to each post everyday.
Take a closer look at the @firepower's comment pattern, we can find out how many comments he burst out during a short period. The following screenshot of SteemSQL result shows he could 'write' 20 comments to 20 different authors in 20 minutes:

Well, you may tell me that it's possible to read a post and write comment in one minute. Let's have a closer look, what kind of comments Mr. @firepower wrote. I just did a random search with SteemSQL to check how many comments are the exactly the same as These are some incredible pictures! I loved your work!, the one he wrote in my post. The answer is, since September 1, 2017, he wrote 67 exactly same comments. Since June 1, 2017, he wrote 91 exactly same comments.

Then, I went to his page to check his profile, which shows:

Mr. @firepower's profile makes me believe he is associated with @steemcleaners. As I know, @steemcleaners is an account to fight spam. How comes the member of spamming fighter is a spammer himself? Is Mr. @firepower a experimental account to test the effects of spamming? Highly appreciated if anybody can give me any clue of any relationship of @firepower and @steemcleaners.
In a post of an interview, Mr. @firepower mentioned:

What he said sounds very good. But what he did just like Interact as many people as robotically possible with spamming.
Then, I came across a statistics post wrote by @ace108, which counts the top commenters. In the post, Mr. @firepower are mentioned many times. This is a very good resource to read. I believe Mr. @firepower is a spammer. You can go to @ace108's post to check the statistics to make your own judgement whether he is a spammer or not.
@kpine, @blocktrades, @thejohalfiles, @roelandp, @acidyo, @arama, @newsflash, @donkeypong, @steemaccess, @damarth, @livingfree, @vcelier, @analisa, @steemcleaners, @adm, @sherlockholmes: sorry to bother you, and I hope you could read my article and find out whether Mr. @firepower is a spammer or not, and make decision whether continue to support Mr. @firepower or not.
If any whales believe @firepower's action can be tolerated by Steemit, please kindly let me know. I believe I can write a better robot to post comments everywhere to gain attentions from more users.
