If people think we have drama on Hive now they didn't live through the 'fun' times of those guys and others. I was threatened by both of them. Bernie would spam comments with pics of shit too.
I was one of those downvoting Haejin for all his self-votes. He wiped out my posts for a week. He was making $100s per week. Bernie objected to me chatting to someone he didn't like. He did some good, but he was a loose cannon.
He seems to be still around; lurking in the alleys of HIVE... quietly "curating" posts and cashing out the rewards.
I wonder if it was ultimately the counter-downvotes from real community members (like you) that made him stop harassing people and abusing the rewards pool.
I heard that haejin was given voting/posting control of the rancho acct, but the original owner of that may have lost the keys! So haejin can use it to boost his curation rewards as well as having the delegation. We can't stop him.
This has been going for soooo long.
If you really wanted to stop him, you would just get more HP and downvote him.
But honestly even tho is makes people mad no one cares enough to do anythin
He never posts so I can't downvote him. Some people have cancelled out his votes, but that can cause trouble when the vote recipients feel like the victims. The freedom of Hive allows for such behaviour.
I'll answer in a full-length post and tag you. But in a nutshell, I believe curation is about recognizing, giving preference to and assigning reward pool rewards (via upvotes) to works that add value to the ecosystem, Whereas Kurashun is clicking the vote button on anything that will give you an curation reward.
The curation system is still not perfect, but I choose the former over the latter because I think the by increasing the quality of the content here now, we might incentivize further increasing the quality of the content in the future and perhaps attract some new authors or just folks that would like to have a good conversation about interesting subjects in the comments section.
@haejin is a hive OG, Bernie went by a lot of names, I believe he was an early steem miner who turned into a self voting vulgar character before selling hive and steem for bitcoin and leaving 4ever. I wonder if either them come around
Downvote warrior and TA spammer 😅
Sounds charming.
Heard yes. All sorts of crazy stories of throwing around big votes and sumtimes getting into voting wars!

Oh wow, you? Threatened for playing the wrong note? 🎸 looks like those guys were after everybody!

Ah, clearly a self-voting abuser.

So what you're saying is, that it's his account. Not your keys, not your crypto.
?
I saw someone claiming to be Rancho saying they lost the keys. Haejin may get to keep control, but can't take the funds out.
This has been going for soooo long.

What's the difference between curation and "curation" <- ?
The 50/50 split of the post rewards makes it pretty hard to argue. You're position is the politically correct one, ...yeah, that's what it is.

I already applaud the effort.
Probably still is, he also ran a bunch of automated and semi automated accounts including on Twitter.
Ah the good old days.
It was always fun getting posts wiped out by the big bosses.
the original whale downvote wars?
That's what they say. Would love to hear stories from the OGs
it was entertaining as long as you didn't get caught in the cross fire lol
Do you know how it got started?
Did you catch some spray from the debacle?
nah, i stayed clear lol but no idea how it started.
They've been around a while ago, think they got offboarded with downvotes eventually. Had some huge stakes, that's for sure.
Still do by the looks of it. Millions.
Didn't check, yeah. Downvotes are cancer.

I've seen haejin around. He's a bit of a lurker with his Haejin and Ranchorelaxo accounts.
I wonder if he can read this…. hello @haejin @ranchorelaxo how have you been? Still fasting?
I didn't hear anything. I was there when the flag wars happened.
