There seems to be a groundwork of basement dwellers on steemit, who consider this network their own (little Internet sneaks probably create a considerable part of their income, this is important), and the founders don't want to lose them as they are basically the only ones who so far found a use for steemit.

As I wrote elsewhere, steemit, a comparatively bare and featureless, even chaotic network, cannot otherwise compare. It is basically a marketing outlet and public raison d'etre for the steem crypto and its blockchain...

So here enters haejin, a zen sort of technical analyst in the time when crypto is booming, and that changes everything. Here's an entertainer stranded in a backwater, and they're of course trying to protect their habitat.

I think @haejin might be best off using what other youtubers are using, patreon account etc., also post at other social networks (not much more work, same materials, he will have 100k or 500k followers in no time-kaboom!), and diversify... so steemit can keep being the backwater it used to be.
