Hmmmm. OK, so what's your takeaway on that? I mean, is that so bad? Or are you simply pointing out perhaps a hint of hypocrisy?

Not just a hint of hypocrisy... but that's the idea. This is just the one account, he has about 15 bots doing the same thing. They are accumulating 1000's of dollars for posting the same repetitive comment over, and over.
Not only that, these comments are each associated with downvotes on someone's posts or comments meaning their share of the reward pool for those posts effectively vanishes. He is not only taking from the reward pool in the same way he blames others for, he is shrinking the Steemit economy a little more with each downvote.
When you consider that Steem Power is an appreciating asset, it compounds its value over time when you use it to curate, and then you consider that Bernie's considerable Steem Power is not being used in this way, and that he is taking Steem Power from others based on some philosophy of "guilt by association" ... who is the one doing all the harm?
What's worse is he knows it. He isn't at all dumb. He is using the typical populist approach to gaining followers by telling people they are victims and that he is their hero. When does he ever encourage people to make their own creative contributions to Steem?
Guess how the people who have to protect themselves from Bernie's onslaught go about doing that? They upvote their own content to counteract his flagging, and then Bernie gets to run to his followers with another story... "look at the reward pool rapists!"
Bernie is the bad guy. He has been flagging my share of the rewards pool away since my account was 2 days old. I have never abused the system in any way.
Wow. I had no idea.
But what doesn't make any sense is why he would he be flagging you 2 days in? I would logically conclude either he made an error, or there was something that caught his attention, especially if he kept it up.
What was it that pissed him off so much? I don't really get it? I mean, I totally get what you're saying about raping the reward pool with hypocrite cries. But why pick on you? What, did he date your sister or something?
No, I commented on a post by @haejin, and then protested when I was flagged for it. That's really it. I unwittingly stepped into a political crossfire. I didn't know @haejin was a marked man when I came here, when I look at his account history on steem.supply and I look at bernie's, what I see is that Bernie is just a vindictive person with no clear cause. You should see all the nasty things he says to people. No class. This behavior can't be seen on haejin's account history at all. What can be seen is that he accumulates about 1.1% of the total reward pool for himself.
The resolution is to educate people about the apps available to us for viewing the blockchain. Transparency is the real deal here, and @haejin is the better man.
Also, here is a screenshot of one of my own blog posts where he and his bots flagged all the rewards away. This was a post meant to encourage people like myself who still find themselves a bit gun shy about producing video...
