What is the percentage of the reward pool that goes to self-voters? What is the percentage of the reward pool that goes to ugly, non imaginative, out of focus pictures that get $xx up-votes for no sane reason?
I actually was with you people. Not because I think that @haejin is greedy. But because the reward pool is broken.
But that was, until the anti @haejin movement started to become very hostile, and using a lot of swearwords.
Is this the kind of talk that we want to see here on Steemit. Is this what we want on blogs in the trending pages?
Instead of trashing on @haejin, we should try to attract more writers to Steem. Eventually to reward pool should even out.
People need to realize that as the platform matures, most of us won't be earning that much.It's all because of the small community that the lesser writers can earn a fat paycheck. The dream of being all millionaires with sup par blogss is just not going to happen.
My prediction for the future is, that we will see more writers like @heatjin. And that the majority of the rewards pool will go to a relative small portion of the users.
I know that this isn't nice, but it's how economics work.

This exactly! I have no use for drama and would normally just ignore the whole thing but I was mindblown to see those hateful articles in the trending post. Then I realized that as offensive and rude as they are, I was scared to downvote because, being pretty new, I still don't know if backlash will be an issue. I just invited four people onto the platform and that is the first thing they will see when they start exploring. Not good. I said that in a really nice way and ...yep...got downvoted. WTF??
Not sure. Some people are pretty mean: downvoting you after you downvote their poor content, downvoting you for no reason at all etc.
I felt the same way and called out @berniesanders for doing precisely the same thing he reports (and profits from) others for doing. He has multiple accounts that all upvote his bot account (@abusereports) and pilfers the rewards pool daily. Last time I actually counted... I tallied $7,869.52 taken from the rewards pool in 25 days! Now the jerk is flagging everything I do... EVERYTHING! I agree with @lfepp's remarks above... @berniebaby is the Hypocrite's Hypocrite! https://steemit.com/steemit/@retiredinsamar/the-pot-calling-the-steemit-kettle-black-ain-t-this-some-shit
The more you comment, the easier you make it to completely kill off your account.
I gave you a chance, and you blew it. Why? Because you have nothing better to say, so you feel the need to whine like a little bitch all day.
GFY ya poor schlub.
