It's odd, because I can't see the comments he says are getting massive rewards. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but our Scottish friend is not earning that massively from what I can see. He does post an awful lot and self-votes, but he doesn't have enough SP to do much damage.
I also don't see why someone making $300 on a post is complaining :)
lol, the whole thing struck me as funny. The site has flags, the site has the ability to vote for witnesses, witnesses have the ability to impact the code.
The SP is held by the accounts who are capable creating change, or flagging away the rewards....
So, let's appeal to the end-users?
This is not good for SteemIt, creditability... etc.
At least he is earning, and good for him.
I doubt he will make $20k a month. This comment seems to explain what was going on. It's a storm in a teacup really
Agreed, stake is stake and those who are creating the storm, could simply fix it. Write a bot to flag it down if you want, or use some of your stake to down-vote it, or make a post and earn, while pretending you don't know what to do. Add slightly concerned witnesses, adding their opinions and voting up each other's comments. It is hysterical.
It isn't about the money to me, it is about reputation.
