There is something I just fail to understand and I find it hilarious that nobody points it out. Mcburny here keeps screaming "reward pool rape" and downvoting everyone (almost always those who can't take a stand against him. This is what I call a classic bully) because he can. What people never point out is that he's doing the very same thing he claims to fight against. Why is it that each of his comments get $4-10 in upvotes from his bot army?
He goes around "fixing" the post rewards for everyone (In layman's terms: downvoting them until the post rewards are what he wants/think they deserve to be) but do his comments deserve that kind of money each time?
Here's what happened: Minnowbooster.net became too big of a competitor for this guy's randowhale. That much is evident if you take a look at the last month of rando's operations where he clearly wasn't making as much due to all the better alternatives out there so he decided to wage war on all of them to maintain his monopoly.
Now I'm sure this comment like all my others will be downvoted into oblivion till my comments don't show up anymore. That's basically what happened each time I called out his abuse. This sort of behavior is actually kinda sad because this censorship by him has been imposed on everyone that has said anything against him. Free speech? Yea right.....
@reggaemuffin don't cower to his whims. I have been following the amount of work you've done with minnowbooster and I've followed the discord and seen first hand how support is on there. MB is a sigh of relief for many minnows out there so don't let it die out due to the tantrums of a mentally ill man-child

Thank you! Some of the things bernie is doing are good, but many are not. And he is not able to take criticism himself. That is why many like him, I guess. The one you can't blame.
to be fair if he doesn't upvote his comments the rep will hide them
Then why upvote them $6 and not $0.05? It needs 2 cents to show a comment. He could have one account upvoting him with a small percentage automatically, but he votes with 30+ accounts and 6 dollars.
true, I guess his motivation is just sending it to the top so more see it. If you have money you are important here and deserve more I guess.
The rich having more power is definitely a property of steem. We could discuss if that is a bad thing and how it can be fixed but that would probably mean ditching proof of stake.
the problem is that we keep trying to use capitalism to fix the faults of capitalism. There is no "good" network we could make that functions on these ideals
Check out abundance societies, they are not capitalism.
I was talking about steem, but alright it sounds interesting
alright are you talking about post scarcity? I was hoping it would be something different but that's all that came up.
Steem is not capitalism. In capitalism, rewards would be given directly from the consumer to the authors. That is not the case here.
capitalism is private ownership of capital. I'm not talking about your special brand of "ultra-super free market consumer orientated trickle-down capitalism"
did you just tell a communist that he defends the ruling class? Disgusting
actually its so that he can ignore me long enough to get a foot hold and spread communism unchecked. Also I know he is doing it to support his own agenda but discussion is better than blind hate.
