You can pretend all you want of being the victim of my downvotes. I NEVER downvote without cause.
It's fair to say that @haejin is like cancer to whole Steem project.
In my experience he does excactly what @steevc explained in his post.
I have seen plenty of proof where people who downvoted his post in order to adjust the value of the content which brings to Steem and got downvoted by large amounts theirself as a result. Many people don't dare to flag him again when they experienced this once.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that his content has zero value but way overvalued in it's current state.
It seems that large stakeholders of Steem (missing @ned 's opinion on this discussion) doesn't care about content and a fair distribution of the reward pool.
Guess that @dan will have best chances in letting people leave Steem into his new Steem competitor on EOS, when people realize that the reward pool distribution system on Steem has failed because of greed...
I am worried that people will leave for a platform they consider to be fairer. Then watch the Steem price plummet. This platform has great potential and short term greed threatens that.
I'm actually waiting for that platform, there are few tries but nothing close to steem yet. But eventually, it will come.
About the subject, I don't appreciate what this haejin guy does but the problem is not himself, the system is broken and he's just making his way. Those who look like angel goes and uses bid bot or self-votes or votes their alts on 7th day...
There are many problems to make newcomers give up on steem, and if it wasn't haejin it will be the second guy who earns the most.
I've been here for 4 months and when I first come here everywhere was flooded by haejin and bernie.. It's four months of pool rape and flag wars instead of trying to build something.
And since we are playing with real money here, if you go and piss a billionare's garden, he come back and buy your whole neighbourhood.
And here is my worthless upvotes to help you cover.
There are many people trying to make something good here. The greedy ones are a distraction and eventually their influence will decrease. This is the wild west and it's up to us to build the platform we want.
Instead they can see how the "community" treats you if you dare to achieve!No its racist pigs like @berniesanders and @dang007 that are driving people away. A story of sucsess like @haejin is something that would attract newcomers giving them hope that they can achieve something here.
Yep, that's what I think will happen soon when there is a good alternative.
Haejin has no interest other than greed - if you would care about Steem, he would start to curate good content of other authors too.
In this picture you will see, how he uses his power in order to punish those who dare to disagree on how he abuses the system:
If it's somekind of encouragement for you: You are not alone!
One could say "Don't hate the player, hate the game!" - guess this is somehow true.
In my opinion there are 3 possible outcomes:
I don't think the last possibility will happen, that's why I'am currently thinking to sell all my stake and wait for a better platform which will evolve soon.
Lets hope something better comes along soon.
Bad apples like bernie run people off that's what ruins it.
I've had no issues with Bernie so far, but he is a loose cannon. As a prominent Steemian who seems to want respect I think haejin could behave better. He's not earning friends
