If I could provide a middle ground opinion I think what you bring to Steem is people not content. Steem users are use to payouts being content based with a few whales getting payouts due to investments. You @heajjin are getting paid due to outside fame(unless you care to argue that each article you post is worth thousands of USD in its own right).
This new aspect of Steem is confusing to people and the fact that you exist outside of the general Steem community is scary to some. How about you checkout some of our other content, and try to spread a bit of love? I’m sorry you got such a rude welcome but I don’t think returning the favor will help anyone. What hobbies do you have? Maybe I could suggest people to follow.
Edit: I’m reposting this in hopes it’ll be seen by those involved
This is interesting to me as an outsider, coming from other social networks where content providers are not paid in money but either in synergy, SEO value (something most people won't know even exists), or not at all. So out of interest I would ask, a- do you think that the typical content created by steemit users is superior to what can be found at other social networks (examples), and b- be that so or be that not so, do you think steemit can remain an exclusive island of people you describe, whose number would obviously have to stay limited ? You would have to build a wall, and in fact that is exactly what berniesanders is trying to do.
I think you might’ve missed my point. I’m saying I think that if you get this many users interested in your content you’ve earned the pay whether or not the article alone is worth it or not.
I think people like @haejin are being paid for their article plus outside fame. This makes sense to me but I think it’s upsetting to internally famous Steem users. I’m merely suggesting easing the pain by integrating into the Steem community.
If you want to keep the perspective focused on steemit, which I think is surreal as more people from "outside" are coming in, I don' t really see haejin as such an outsider.
He did produce youtube videos - but not remotely as much as others do. He started to do mass postings when he was already here... there's another youtube crypto expert who recently came here, being downvoted by berniesanders now, and he hadn't even been posting much or earned much money at all. This isn't going to work for long, paradise lost.
It was a rather unimpressive paradise anyway, sorry about that - the old steemians will just have to live with the vibrant DIVERSITY of it.
I’m fine with it just trying to give suggestions to ease the integration.
Golden words my friend. Don't forget to Add the MASSIVE profits to the equation. I was actually doing well even before @haejin. But now I'm doing even better and some people who used to loose money are also making tons of profits. That's an amazing service with zero cost to use. Shifu has made it. Shifu has earned it.
So, what you're basically saying is that integration works two ways, and that the Sanders clan should actually read haejin's posts and make a ton of money instead of bitching about steem privilege ?
You see, I totally understand them, theirs is a natural reaction - I just think it's also an impractical one.
And they would't have to pay a single penny for all those MASSIVE profits and they don't even have to upvote if they don't feel like it. Drama solved and everybody makes money.
Peace.
@travelersmemoire. I really have problem understanding your arguments. Insider, outsider, getting paid by their article plus outside fame. You are thinking in circles. That's not getting anywhere except you are indulging yourself in your own circular way of thinking. In my opinion, that's a waste of time. Haejin does great analysis, that I know as I have been trading for sometime and have paid lots of money to follow someone's service. Haven't seen one quite as good. A good content is what I support and many others do too, maybe not you. There is no such thing as insider or outsider. People come and go, it's fluid like the water. BernieSanders and the likes talked like communists. Some actual talked very jealous but nothing much coming from their heads. You don't worry about the middle ground you want to play. Go ahead and love yourself enough so you are more clear as to who you show love to.
I came here because of @haejin too +1
I was here before @haejin came but I’ve got no hate for anyone. If you’re getting this many votes you’ve gotta be providing content some people love.
@travelersmemoire. Does it really matter you came here first? This is not a matter of seniority in a union house. Because Haejin is providing content some people love, that's why he is getting that many votes. There are always trouble makers who are jealous and want to downvote. Stop thinking in circles!
I think you misunderstood his reply :) I came here because of @haejin, @travelersmemoire was here before @haejin, seems like we both follow @haejin, he is just a good content provider, and a wallet fattener.
I’m not trying to say it matters just stating when I joined. As I said above I’ve got no problem with him getting votes. Just making a suggestion that could help ease tensions.
