This is the most reflected post I've seen about the ongoing haejin-war, and I give you my small vote and a new follower for this. I'll also reach out to Haejin referring your post, in hope he read me.
I came to Steemit because of @haejin, as I was trying to understand and learn the EW technical analysis of wich he is still the best to explain.
I had no intention being a blogger, but started posting my ugly charts to keep them in a line and being able to go back and see what I did wrong.
Getting a few active followers triggered me and suddenly I did not post only for me but for them also.
Being a minnow myself, I remember the first time getting more than $0.05 for a post, it felt really good. And when I got a comment upvoted to $2 I felt like it was heaven. I found it pretty devastating getting this comment in one of Haejins posts flagged by a bunch of people, and fact is I started looking for other places to hold my blog lately solely because of this.
My small earnings dissapeared in front of me, and I was pretty discouraged to be here, had it not been for my followers.
Some of them was also flagged, and especially one was flagged to zero value. I felt more sorry for him than anything else, and decided I would keep up since he was doing it.
Being a minnow it is of no point answering the shitposters in his comments, I found out the hard way. I have no power, and my word is basically worth nothing against a profile like Berniesanders.
Now I'm just doing my posts, helping my followers out and building a relationship with them instead of taking part in this war.
Both I and them would be really happy getting a whale upvote any of our content, and I think 80% of all stemians are in our position. Getting recognized is a dream for most of us.
I don't think he should restrict the number of posts, but a decline in payouts would definitively take off the edge of the war. And sharing out some love to the minnows would probably do Steemit more than anything else.
You are very on point with what you say, this is about the minnows and helping each other. This war is causing no good to anyone here.
I value this opinion because it comes from someone that @haejin brought to the platform and it is actually a follower, commenter and "student" of haejin.
I would really appreciate if you could reach out to him, or have your friends also reach out to him, and show him this post because even though it is on trending since yesterday, he hasn´t reacted in any way to it :(
Thanks for this comment man, I really appreciate you reaching out to me.
I just sent him a note in his wallet, and will also let him know in a comment, but he got lots of comments so it isn't sure he read them all even thogh he have responded to my comments lately.
I could not resist reaching out to this spot-on reflected post.
