I'm pretty tired of the memo spam. Honestly, sportic, the whale dude, the hottopic, all of them as far as I'm concerned offer nothing to this blockchain and their business model is just bamboozling new users into thinking that "Resteeming" is the way you gain new followers and support. It's the equivalent of snake oil on the steemverse.

So, I was having some evil thoughts last night, and I might have figured out a way to kill the little botty bots. Yes, you heard that right. Now, I don't have all the information regarding this very subject and I may be wrong about it completely, but I'm putting this out there in case a developer has the time and ability to make this happen.

Drain them out, leech them

I think the way that they work is that they are "listening" for transfers being made to promotion services and bidbots. This of course I have no way of confirming, but at least it seems that I get memos if I send money to @smartmarket every single time. Now, I'm not too good at placing bids with bots, so I don't use them, but I suspect the same would happen if the SBDs or STEEM were sent to one.

So here is the evil plan that would actually be good:

A developer who owns a bot, could program two accounts to send money back and forth from the puppet account to the bot and back, until the resteem leeches run out of funds.

I've prepared visual aid to convey how I think this whole thing would play out. If the evil plan succeeds, then the little bots would run out of funds, and hopefully they will close shop soon after.

Now, what could we do with the drained funds you say? We could start a @spamfighter account or something and use their own swords against them. You see how amazing this whole idea is? pffffff!!!!!

/me congratulates himself

On a serious note

Is this possible? Who knows exactly how these botty bots are working? If you are a developer yourself, talk to me, tell me why my evil plan would fail, I wanna know.
