Well that's a load of rubbish. Haejin played the game correctly and only once a whale backed him, petite jealousy over the reward pool from people like BS caused a lynch mob to form. I took my investment out of steemit at this point and have been powering down since. The platform is flawed and the leadership showed no leadership. The surprise to me is that anyone is surprised that when you set up a platform based on Crypto that Crypto analysis would become a number one blog. I think the basic idea behind steemit is amazing and the community is mostly amazing but it's a flawed prototype as early whale investors have been allowed to have censorship over information. Huge mistake. I think we'll see new improved censorship free social media platforms outperform steemit very quickly. Sad. I was a huge fan...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Didn't bother to read the other blocked comments, but you are the first person I've seen describe exactly the haejin phenomenon/situation!
Are people really surprised that a crypto based blog platform's most popular user blogs about crypto analysis/projections?! While in a frenzied bull market no less? EDIT: While it *was in a bull market
I am indifferent to the whole thing one way or another. Steemit will mature and develop into something really cool, or it wont. Wanted to point out that you are exactly right though!
And just as he has done in the past, he chooses to flag rather than discuss. He certainly has nothing to fear from entering a debate with me. The truth will set him free.
Debate on what? C'mon @moeknows, frankly i have previously thought you reasonable...but the way you are behaving, name calling and all the mockery in your so called 'offer to make a statement....', it is only prove of hypocrisy.
If you want to debate, debate with me! You and i are only the rank and file! @haejin is above your weight, and certainly above even noticing you.
But I am open. Here or on my blog, what do you think?
I'm reposting because your hero chose to downvote (though the post was not paying out) instead of engaging. How hard is it to do as you have done and answer a simple question? I am reasonable.
Obvously not, he has downvoted me over 50 times just today. At any one of those instances, he could have simply responded. He chooses not to.
How am I behaving badly? I have not called any names. I have corresponded respectfully, far more respectfully than he has. I have published no insulting memes nor used any offensive language, yet he continues to downvote. Ask yourself why that is. If his actions are so righteous, why does he go through such lengths to avoid defending them?
I would love to see this debate, 21 hours still no reply from @icomment though.

I know right. His actions are difficult to defend. Wouldn't it be easier for him to just engage?

Also, I reject that notion. I am a stakeholder in Steem as are you. Our stake includes not only capital, but sweat. I intend to make full use of my stake, which includes engaging with those who commit acts on the blockchain with which I don't agree. This includes haejin.

Flags are also part of the game. Haejin colluded with this whale and currently controls his stake. This has been the claim all along and haejin fails to admit the obvious.
You say that as if it was earned...it wasn't. It was bought...which is fine up until the point that the rest of the community engages in correcting activities. The community has a right and obligation to correct over valued posts. The only difference in this situation is that haejin feels justified harming those who disagree with his bought rewards.
We don't need leaders to save us. We can handle this situation ourselves, as long as we're able to be adults....something of which haejin doesn't seem to be capable.
C'mon @haejin, @starjuno. Don't be so afraid to actually engage. With such little SP, what could I do to hurt you? We can even move it to my blog if you'd like.
I gotta go to work now, but I'll talk to you jokers later.
Calling names is hardly the mark of wisdom! You betray your true colors, and miserably fail at what you claim you are doing, which is a resolution of hostilities otherwise perpetuated by your lot.
I have no lot. I have also called no names. It is just me, one guy, asking for discourse, practically begging for it. And all this individual, someone who constantly claims to be the victim, can do is respond by downvoting. I have been more than reasonable in my requests. "Do no harm" is not my motto but his. I believe he is the one who is betraying, or perhaps portraying, his true colors.
I'd also like to point out that your guy is a big perpetrator of said censorship.
Hi @tarquinmaine, I made a video explaining the STEEM rewards pool and certain myths surrounding it as well as flagging. I'm sad to hear you are leaving this early in, maybe I can help clear up a few things for you:
