He doesn't make any gains by downvoting haejin's posts. Instead, he protects this platform by his actions. Haejin was making far too much money on each of his posts which was not healthy for the long-term growth of this website.

Isn't it the systems fault then? How is it @Haejin's fault that people are upvoting his content? I really don't understand it, you are basically saying that No one can be more famous than the other on Steem-It. Is that not what Communism is? Please show me your logic.
First of all, the high value of haejin's posts are because of only 1 or 2 specific people upvoting his posts. The rest of the upvoters don't add up to a significantly large payout.
The system is designed such that each day there is a X number of STEEM available. Content creators receive their SBD and STEEM from this same fund for their posts and comments. Because haejin would post 6-8 times a day, and each of his post would have a potential payout of $200 or more, he had a relatively large stake of that X STEEM. A lot of people found that for the content of each post (not talking about his predictions or analysis itself), haejin need not get that big a portion of the avaliable X STEEM. Despite the accuracy of the prediction, you have to agree that all posts were kinda identical, a picture of his steemit profile, a small paragraph describing his prediction, a chart and then links to his youtube, crypto donations, and courses on TA.
Why downvote haejin's posts to zero? I don't know, they're doing all the downvoting, ask them.
He made me 3x my money. If that isn't enough to justify his posts making $200 I have no idea what would justify it. With more money I make then I will spend more on steemit. If it worked for him it can work for me. I think this comes down to staying positive and not worrying about others. If the system is based on survival of the richest then this website, overtime, will not make it.
