So as most of us know, currently there is a flag war going on between two whales @haejin and @berniesanders. Haejin basically posts at least 4-5 posts a day, which he upvotes with his alt account.
Well, first off, the alt account has around 1.3 million steem power, which basically makes his votes worth around $400, and using it to only upvote himself kind of drains the reward pool, reducing the rewards for other users, while producing repetitive content, which I have done as well,but making around 1000 USD per post, while bringing no value to the community is just horrible. Honestly, does anyone actually think that each one of his posts is worth a thousand dollars? That is a months wage for some people and most of it comes from one account, since he gets like $500-600 per post!
It would be great if he would use @ranchorelaxo to actually pick good posts and upvote them, but he only upvotes himself! If he would, let's say give himself like a $100 upvote per post and would use the rest of his VP upvoting other people in the community that produce valuable content, that would be fine, even amazing! But I haven't seen him doing that yet... Maybe one day?
Anyways, I am expecting this post to get flag bombed, but I wanted to voice my opinion and I hope that you read the post before flagging!
Thats crazy, how does he get 2 accounts worth so much? Did he buy that steem power or earn it dishonestly?
I certainly hope it doesn't get flag bombed!!
I'm fairly new here (almost 3 weeks) but I'm already upset by the activities I see by some of these whales. It's appalling to see people abusing the network for their own benefit for worthless posts.
Thanks for this. I found you on Kryptonia. I upvoted, but unfortunately my votes are fairly worthless haha. Following you now!
Cheers :)
Thank you! I am fairly new aswell :), joined at the end of December, but kind of starting to lose interest in steemit, because of the reward pool abuse.
I know what you mean, and I'm not really knowledgeable enough to be in a place to give advice, but I wouldn't lose interest.
I think that the site is still at the start of it's boom, and as long as people who are already members continue to use it often & well (i.e. making quality posts such as yours) it could pay off in the long run.
But also what do I know. Seriously, ha. Anyways, thanks for the article!
