The story of TheMarkyScamrt
In the neon-lit underbelly of the internet, where anonymity was both shield and sword, a figure known only as TheMarkyMark carved out a peculiar empire. Mark, as he was called in whispers across forums, was neither a coder nor a hacker in the traditional sense, but he had a knack for exploiting the digital world’s obsession with clout. His trade? Selling bot votes and fake work to those desperate for a shortcut to relevance.
It started small. Mark, a lanky 20-something with a penchant for energy drinks and late-night Discord binges, stumbled into the game in 2020. A friend, half-joking, asked if he could boost a Reddit post to the front page for a quick ego trip. Mark, ever the opportunist, cobbled together a script from GitHub scraps, rented a cheap server, and unleashed a swarm of bots to upvote the post. By morning, it was trending, and his friend was ecstatic. More importantly, Mark saw dollar signs.
Word spread like wildfire in the shadier corners of the web. Need a YouTube video to go viral? TheMarkyMark could flood it with views and likes for a PayPal transfer. Want your startup’s app to climb the App Store charts? He’d orchestrate a battalion of fake downloads. His pièce de résistance, though, was the “freelance facade.” For a fee, he’d churn out polished but entirely fabricated portfolios—GitHub repos filled with plagiarized code, LinkedIn endorsements from nonexistent colleagues, even mock-ups of apps that didn’t exist. Clients, from shady entrepreneurs to desperate job-seekers, paid handsomely to pass off his fakes as their own.
By 2023, Mark was pulling in six figures, all funneled through crypto wallets and offshore accounts. He worked from a cluttered apartment, surrounded by monitors and empty pizza boxes, his only companions the hum of cooling fans and the occasional ping of a new order. His customers were a motley crew: influencers chasing clout, scammers gaming crowdfunding platforms, even a few politicians juicing their social media stats. Mark didn’t care about their motives; he cared about their money.
But empires built on lies have a way of crumbling. The first cracks appeared when a tech blogger, sniffing out a suspiciously viral product launch, traced the traffic back to Mark’s botnet. The exposé was brutal, naming TheMarkyMark as the puppetmaster behind a dozen high-profile scams. Then came the clients—some furious at being exposed, others demanding refunds when their fake portfolios failed to land jobs. The platforms weren’t far behind. Reddit banned his accounts, YouTube demonetized his clients’ channels, and GitHub nuked his repos. Even the dark web forums, once his hunting grounds, turned on him, doxxing his alias and leaking his burner email.
Mark tried to pivot, offering “consulting” to clean up the messes he’d made, but the damage was done. By 2025, TheMarkyMark was a digital ghost, his empire reduced to a few lingering threads on archived forums. Some say he went straight, landing a low-key IT gig. Others claim he’s still out there, lurking under a new handle, peddling smaller scams to stay afloat. One thing’s certain: in the wild west of the internet, TheMarkyMark’s story is a cautionary tale—a reminder that fake votes and fabricated work might buy you a moment in the spotlight, but the truth has a way of catching up.
Funny how in hive there is a user with that exact username 😅
downvoted for machine generated
ur money is machine generated by scamming vote bots
Everyone was using/running bid bots at the time, and Hive is not a large portion of my portfolio.
@themarkymark, we’re open to having a conversation about this. You know we’ve uncovered what’s going on, and we’ve already exposed you—so why do you keep thinking that downvoting us will make us stop? It won’t.
The Bipcoin team is here to expose the truth and help Hive grow into a better, more transparent community. We’re not here to farm Hive or exploit the system for personal gain—and surely, you must be smart enough to understand that by now.
Instead of trying to silence us, why not engage in meaningful dialogue? The truth is out there, and it’s time to address it head-on. What will you choose to do?

I haven't read enough of your stuff to recognize your style. I know you have formerly been the highest paid author on the platform, although you seem to have run afoul of folks that intend to prevent your success here.
Marky claims this tale was generated by AI, and I confess it seems to bear hallmarks of machine composition. Curious, I will ask you directly if you wrote this, or was it machine generated?
Thanks!
This is his style, which generally results in $11-14 in auto votes.
What about your @buildawhale Aka @gogreenbuddy Aka @usainvote Aka @themarkymark comment farm it earns a lot more than that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@themarkymark, do you not realize that you’ve already been exposed? There’s nowhere left to hide. All you need to do is stop—turn off ** The Buildawhale comment farm** and put an end to the abusive downvotes. Haven’t you hurt enough people already, both here on Hive and back in the Steemit days?
Your actions are a glaring example of how Hive is being centralized in the hands of a few bad actors like yourself. The Bilpcoin team is here to help Hive grow stronger, fairer, and more transparent. But what about you? What do you really contribute besides manipulation, exploitation, and harm to the community?
It’s time to take responsibility and change your ways—for the sake of Hive and everyone who believes in its potential.
@themarkymark , at this point, Marky, you're just making a fool of yourself. Your so-called "downvoting friends" run around targeting others for the exact same things you’re actively doing, yet none of them seem to call you out or downvote any of your accounts—how telling is that?
You’re eroding the trust of those who once believed in you. Trust is hard to build but so easy to break, and that’s precisely why we’re still here. We’ve shown time and time again that we can be trusted to expose the truth, while you—and whoever else might be controlling your account—are proving daily that you can’t be trusted.
The hypocrisy is glaring, and the community sees it. Stop embarrassing yourself and start taking responsibility for your actions before there’s nothing left to salvage.

I suspect you are correct, and as you bothered to answer, I have provided such encouragement of forthright discourse as is potential to me, being unable to out stake the several downvotes on your comment. At least tips cannot be flagged away.
https://peakd.com/@themarkymark/activities
I'm not too worried about the downvotes. Thanks for the tip, but you don't need to.
We'd be pretty miserable creatures if we only did what we needed to. Society isn't built on necessity, but on love and affection. We need encouragement, sound counsel, and goodwill, or shit falls apart. Hive is a society, first and foremost. Don't you agree?
I think I work a bit differently than most. I agree with your sentiment though.
A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem
To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.
1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation
If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.
But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.
2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions
Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?
Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?
3. Change Before It’s Too Late
The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.
Ask yourself:
Hive deserves better. So do you.
4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right
Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.
If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.
5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing
It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.
The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.
From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.
What will your next move be?
Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change
Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music
Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.
Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.
Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.
We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?
Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.
The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.
Enough talk. Let’s see action.
Every curation reward from @buildawhale’s bot votes:
The blockchain doesn’t forget—your actions are permanently recorded. So, enjoy your scam farm snacks now, because karma always delivers the bill.

Well, that's a good start.
hes an old scammer here who didnt make money doing content but selling votes
I know he ran a bidbot. I discussed that with him many times, and expressed my vehement objections. You've clearly seen my comment and my question. I have to assume that since you have chosen to not answer my question as to whether the tale was machine generated, that it in fact was machine generated.
