I'll be honest . I have mixed faith in Steemit after seeing Bernie's manipulation of the Steemit. It is pretty clear in the terms of sevice that bots are not allowed. 
Since the uncertainty surrounding the platform and Haejin's use, I've been exclusively tipping him directly to incentivize his posts. That's how I encourage it, and I will continue as long as he makes calls.
Read the entire sentence. In context there. Robots are not allowed if you are using them to extract data from the website.
That doesn't say you can't make an upvote robot.
Everyone is using bots. Most whales and/or dolphins have multiple accounts. 85% of the users pay for votes... Dolphins, whales and minnows.
I can't see why that makes bernie a bad person.
He's complaining somebody is gaming the system while gaming the system. It doesn't really matter to me (nor should it to you) that other people have bots, as that's not justification for what is going on. Haejin has fans. Call them whatever but I am one of those people and have seen 0 evidence that Haejin is using bots to game the system to the degree Bernie does, and it's clear to others that his success came from the use of bots and clearly not to the contribution of the community via posts of substance (probably why he hates on @haejin so much)
I have never said that I have anything against haejin and I've never said anything except that I don't personally believe that he is worth an average of $280 per post, 10 times per day. (When 90% of that money comes from 1 user).
That's my opinion, and I don't try to defend @berniesanders. (Trust me, he doesn't need my help.)
And I am still being flagged, by you and others... - Why is that?
You (and I'm not talking about you specifically. I'm talking about all the poeple who've been flagging me due to this haejin/bernie drama) are entitled your opinions and you demand that I should listen to what you say... But all of you ignore the things I say because you love haejin.
I'm done with pathetic people like the ones who've been flagging me today.
I love Steemit and I have no problem to discuss and/or debate things. In a civilized manner. Until these flagging people starts to treat me with the respect I deserve as a person, I won't have any more discussion with such people.
