"anikys3reasure" was a farmer that was farming automated votes from neoxian. She's neoxian's friend.
She was spamming with effortless google translations of SKALE articles from the SKALE website and from different blogs published by SKALE followers.

  1. She was allowed by SKALE to share their content but they had no idea that she sold it on Hive (monetised). They likely thought l that this ambassador promotes SKALE in places like Medium, Twitter or Bitcointalk. They had no idea Hive is different and their content is sold/monetised here.
    She never told them that she sells it on Hive.

  2. The spam and milking were going on for years and started on Steemit.

  3. She has almost no engagement with the Hive community. A few comments in 2 years.

  4. She never promoted Hive. She still promotes Steemit in her SKALE ambassador description:

  5. Her Skale portfolio intentionally omits Hive. It only mentions her profiles on Medium, Twitter and Telegram. She had no intention of promoting or mentioning it, in case someone goes to check up and sees that she sells SKALE's articles on Hive. https://skale.space/blog/meet-the-skale-protocol-ambassadors

  6. We contacted SKALE twice and they never confirmed that she was allowed to sell (monetise) their content.

          6 We contacted SKALE twice and they never confirmed that she was allowed to sell (monetise) their content.

          These two claims are an obvious contradiction.

            After "anikys3reasure" reached out to SKALE to contact us. She asked them to confirm that she is allowed to share. She did not mention to them that she sells the articles on Hive. They contacted us and said that she is allowed to share the articles. When we asked back if she is also allowed to sell their articles, they have not responded back. I have just contacted them a third time, using a different contact method. We are awaiting confirmation.

            This user never promoted Hive anywhere.
            Many similar spammers are happy to milk Hive while they are too embarrassed to mention Hive anywhere.
            We have blacklisted dozens of similar users since 2016.
            What they do is they apply in some blockchain project to be their spamming shill (nicely reworded to "ambassador" so it looks nice). They get paid from these projects in tokens.
            Then they go on Bitcointalk, Medium, Telegram, and Twitter and spam with copypasta of the project's articles. Sometimes they use Google Translate to turn them into another language.
            They also crosspost spam to Hive to milk Hive (while getting also paid in tokens from the project that they shill).
