It seems like some of the large stakeholders are too impatient to wait for organic/sustainable growth and want to get investment to fund expansion plans as quickly as possible. Haejin's target audience have money to invest and are just waiting for someone to tell them what to do with it, so they consider him valuable for raising money quickly. I'm guessing trevonjb would be the same.
There's a serious risk of that sort of shortsighted voting attracting the wrong sort of stakeholders long term. If that happens Steem could devolve into a Ponzi scheme: https://steemit.com/steem/@troglodactyl/is-steem-a-ponzi-scheme
Totally in agreement with you @troglodactyl, the public of haaejin has money to invest they just need someone to guide them, and practically trevonjb will be something similar then @berniesanders
