Yep, that's what I think will happen soon when there is a good alternative.
Haejin has no interest other than greed - if you would care about Steem, he would start to curate good content of other authors too.
As a wise man once said "With great power, comes great responsibility"
In this picture you will see, how he uses his power in order to punish those who dare to disagree on how he abuses the system:
If it's somekind of encouragement for you: You are not alone!
One could say "Don't hate the player, hate the game!" - guess this is somehow true.
In my opinion there are 3 possible outcomes:
- Either large stakeholders will use their power (downvotes) in order to fight reward pool abuses like this,
- those kind of abuses will be fixed with a Steem protocol change which affect the author reward distribution method or
- Steem will fail in the long term
I don't think the last possibility will happen, that's why I'am currently thinking to sell all my stake and wait for a better platform which will evolve soon.
Lets hope something better comes along soon.
