I was keeping an eye on this famous icon bernie sanders, it looks like a scam now, he seems to flag people in the utopian community who does great work and then do the same like for haejin's post. All in all while he is doing it his own posts is earning a freakin thousand dollar with nothing more than a 300 keyword of scolding people and bullying,
the same type of conversations you hear in bullies in the third grade school times. I wonder if this person is someone age 13 or something... but who knows, anyone here can have an account so... but really... why the heck is this bullying in steemit? i cant understand... so thats why i conclude that it is sort of a business that he is doing. to earn money from you guys...somewhat like WWE entertainment shows....
Hi guys, I am new to Steemit and I am trying to understand.So it looks like he has figured out how to game the Steemit platform for self gain. Taking what should be Haejin's and others, for himself by down voting others. Am I getting this right?
Nope, you've gotten it wrong. Berniesanders does not gain anything by downvoting haejin's posts. Haejin posts about 5-6 times a day, each of which would make 200 dollars. This would harm the long-term growth of steemit. That's why bernie flags his posts, in a way protecting the platform.
as what i can see here, for making it right, it does not look good to bernie sanders if he is making his post there to receive that 1k ++ when he is showing that he is doing work on check and balances. if he really wants to prove himself right, he should make his post to non paying post.
Agreed
Realistically neither of them should be making as much as they do. The posts shouldn't be earning anywhere near the amount of money they are on either side of the argument. Unless you think less than 100 words is worth $400....
You're right, my posts of a nicely bullet list of a good essay consisting a thousand word and i just got like four cents or something. I can totally relate. But because of that I do not write that much recently as well. Seems like new comers coming in here either their posts were not really getting attention or they do not have friends with big super powers. This is the thing we are having here in steemit. But I do thank those people who upvoted , there were like 80 upvotes on an article which only fetches less than four or five dollars in total. I had already half given up on writing again. But due to the recent jump in steem price and sbd, that even if i got a 0.04 cents that would probably mean something. However, what this platform had given me was some group of friends and with good intentions creating good articles. And some good articles that I follow and it has been a while. But then this thing had hit some road bumps along the way. I hope the road bumps do not interfere with the content creator because I find the contents are good. I think the payouts can be better if the curators earn more if the total earnings reach a certain amount. So far I don't find curating earning much but instead I find the community more interesting, which do get my upvote for it.
Try making people wealthy with your posts, try bringing thousands of people to steemit and getting hundreds to buy and power up steem.
People who do that grow the entire platform which is good for everyone... others want to keep this platform small and complain about the results of other peoples hard work.
If he were protecting the platform he would leave some of his posts alone right? But he's flagging and downvoting everything to 0, that's terrorism mate.
But it seems he is gaining something, I keep reading about the reward pool and that money that Haejin is losing is going back into that pool where Bernie profits. Can someone tell if that is correct? It seems like complete BS because I have looked at Bernie's posts and I have seen nothing there that provides any value (at least at first glance) Haejin gets upvotes because what he does is helping people make tons of money, myself included. I have yet to see anyone give a legitimate reason as to why he should be down voted.
It is correct. But that money doesn't just benefit Bernie, it can be redistributed to all members of Steemit. However, since this war is going on, it is definitely more likely to benefit him than others.
The reason people flag him is because of the #1 reason to flag:
Many people think he is making far too much money for the content he provides, and they want this money to be redistributed amongst others and not all going to @haejin. It's a fair enough reason, because single whales like this really ruin the platform.
Because only one or two people actually contribute to the post's payouts.
How exactly does someone harm the long term growth of steemit by posting things that people like SO MUCH that they UPVOTE HIM and in so doing REWARD HIM?
isn't that the ENTIRE PREMISE OF STEEMIT?

Please stop being one of those stupider people. Please.
If you think I am stupid then why did you downvote my comment?
Also although many people upvote his content and find it uselful, the majority of the revenue is generated because of only 1 or 2 people's upvotes.
