Bernie uses 15 accounts to upvote himself, haejin uses 1. Bernie scams people with randowhale, and produces no good content.
Seeing posts like "look at this reward pool rapist" trending on the daily makes the website less appealing and less valuable.
I prefer flagging assholes instead of flagging nice people who create content I enjoy.
Content that has almost no true accuracy and only predicts ups for crypto... things can fall and this blind acceptance of haejins TA's will lose you money
@studgriffin When it comes to business what haejin is doing is no good for this platform. While his TA aren't completely valueless, they are not worth what is being represented. They are simple predictions that anyone can make. It's like throwing a dart at a dart board.
You say bernie doesn't produce quality content.
Define quality content in this Utopia
His 15 accounts vs thousands of abusers (cause it's not just one)
Also, there is one major thing many of you haejin supporters are not understanding, and this may just blow your mind a little but:
Creating quality content is not the only way to better this platform
We have content creators, and contributors.
Because of the efforts of flagging, my rewards have indeed gone up a little. This means that rewards were reallocated to users instead of being taken away and going to one person, which is exactly what ranchorelaxo and haejin are doing when they so irresponsibly upvote themselves without doing any real curation or contribution to the platform.
In conclusion, Contributors, man. They are important. More important than content creators. Contributors help make this place great. They help attract real content creators. They actually contribute in curating real content not false predictions. Contributions.
Haejin receives something like ~2.5% of the reward pool, he has roughly 3% of the total steem population following him whom have roughly 3% of the reward pool.
I think his rewards are more fair than Bernie having 50+ accounts that automatically upvote him. Bernie is no saint, he is raping the reward pool and scamming steemit users more than anyone.
Also, Haejin is very much a "real" content creator. He creates better content than most people on the site. He is not just waving a wand and making magic predictions.
Well it is obvious that you will argue for your friend til you are blue in the face. If you guys think that haejin is worth $4 million a year then so be it but don't be upset when people disagree. I can name at least 10 other posters that make "better content". It's not particularly crypto related.
At one point I saw haejin pulling in 7% of the rewards, as I watched my rewards and everyone elses rewards dwindle because he and ranchorelaxo seem to run this platform now. I feel that it's quite the take-over. It wasn't until after the flags that he no longer was raking in 7% of the rewards pool. 7% for one user spamming shitcoins is insanity.
That's right, I said shitcoins
"Octacoin" he says. He analyzed Octocoin, mispelled it, during the most volatile time of the year, and while bitconnect is plumetting.
He suggested....Oct"a"coin. And that was worse about his oct"a"coin prediction, is that it paid 347.39! 347.39 to make a prediction about an absolute shitcoin? "It could generate lower lows" he says. I'm sorry but I laughed at this one.
Okay so you also want to talk statistics right? Let's do some statistics with this absolute shitpost of a shitcoin prediction.
Ranchorelaxo upvoted the oct"a"coin post. What is ranchorelaxo's upvote worth? 266 +/- and haejin's upvote is worth 74. combine that you have $340 for a post that paid out $347.
To be exact, both gave himself a 100% upvote for 283.07 $ and 71.89 $ for a total of 354 + all the other upvotes. It's a good thing he's getting flagged!
So you have TWO accounts providing 90% of the rewards. not 3% of the steemit community.
Granted it came after bernie's flags, I know this, but the post wasn't anywhere near that much before the flags came. It's a shitcoin though!
plus with the flags, he was only stripped of $50.41.
If he only upvoted himself what was taken away, I wouldn't care. but 354 potatoes for taking away 50 is insanity, because he is going to upvote himself whether he gets flagged or not.
Both sides have valid arguments, and I am curious which one cares more for the platform?
