I am going to respectfully ask that you do not upvote this, this is me being candid about why I follow, support, and respect you. I will also ask that you do not flag this either but ultimately you do whatever you want to.
You know what is sad, there are people whom actually wrote complete responses to haejin that won't get a response from him at all
[1] [2] [3] [4] and way more (I could list them all but it is annoying trying to copy the permlink to each comment)
And you will be more likely to get a response. Not that it is bad but it shows that haejin doesn't care about the community and purely money, he responds only to those that will have an effect on his profits in the end.
Haejin, and his followers, can say whatever they want but if haejin truly cared about his followers and the community then he wouldn't do what he is doing. He would respond to people no matter the size, he would be willing to reduce his rewards so his followers have a better shot at getting some. So don't take this the wrong way when I say it is saddening to see transisto get a response when many other before him made similar sentiments just to get ignored or shut down.
This also works the other way as well. Not trying to kiss your ass but you have, in many cases, responded to people even if they had no ability to really affect you on steemit, you responded.
I wouldn't care if haejin had the most perfectly accurate TA's in the world, if he can't look past his own selfishness then he doesn't deserve the rewards. And I know my flags are pretty much worthless in the grand scheme (0.20 taken away from 268+ is still usually 268+) but symbolic in nature I will stand.
A haejin supporter came and started commenting on one of my posts and upvoting their comments to above $1 (each),
I brought this up to you as I felt it was abusive to do such a thing and you flagged the comment lowering it below everything else. The comment had pretty much nothing to do with the post itself and digressed into insults, and you could have done nothing but you didn't.
Bernie, I respect you, many people here respect you. The other whales of steemit may not follow, but at least you have dolphins and minnows (and some whales, well I consider transisto a whale)
