Those numbers of his profits in isolation dont' quite help either. Showing that crypto calls make money isn't that big of a deal. What we need to do is look at how the rest of the market did during the same period. Is he outpacing the overall bull trend or is he just calling shots in bull market and having success?
I think flagging has it's place in this community to decide community rewards. Every stake holder has a say of where it should go and you have the right to upvote and downvote.
I'm not sure I'd call them stalin for down voting. I don't think the distribution is totally warped on this platform.

This is exactly what I am calling for. Evidence offered before attacking these authors. If this analyst is a charlatan, it should be easy to show, and then flagging can commence. All I see is mudslinging and "too many rewards" being thrown around, with no definition of what is too much.
Haejin isn't even buying votes, presumably, but merely being voted a lot. Flagging him with the cry of "this person is making too much", and offering no evidence, is precisely a communist attitude.
There is no such thing as too much, only too much relative to merit, and no argument has been offered on this point.
His posts were getting 3000+ views and 200+ votes. He brought new people to steemit, and encouraged many of them to purchase steem power.
There was no plausible evidence that he was rancho relaxo upvoting himself. So all the rest is a bunch of people who think they should decide who get what and how much.
People like @haejin grow the platform and make the pie bigger for everyone.
Are we going to attack @davidpackman next for bringing over a youtube audience to steem and posting multiple times a day if his posts start earning "too much" money? If we don't grow the platform then its just going to stay the circlejerk of 10k people and 490k bots that it is right now.
I totally agree with everything you said, and great example.
The answer to your question at the end that you probably hope is hypothetical is that yes, yes we are. We've done it before and we'll do it again.
