Gosh, I sure hope the price can hold if you cash that out.
Here is my point of view for consideration.
Those who are consuming his trading advice can upvote him. He will be motivated to have followers that are powering up and that are good for the Steem economy.
Not everyone cares about trading advice and $600k a month is a bit much for the reward pool to sustain at this time.
I hope he stays and I hope you all get rich with his trading tips and if he requires that much money to motivate him maybe you all can tip him for his advice.
In the meantime, those of us in Steem for the long haul will try to protect some of the reward pool. It isn't personal.
All posts are open for 7 days, for both upvotes and downvotes.
Welcome and enjoy.
Protect it? By taking it and putting in their own pocket?
I do see the irony of "protecting the reward pool via a $1000 post. On the other hand the guy he is flagging was taking more than that a day.
I don't think you have been here long enough to tell others how they should act.
It is a free blockchain open to those who can handle it. Decide if you like it or not and choose to understand the dynamics or move on.
The choice is yours, nobody is going to beg you to stay, and there is nothing we can do to control the Bern. Most of what he does is for the good of the blockchain. He just doesn't use nice words. Your eyes will not burn.
The action he is taking is to protect the reward pool and his investment in Steem.
The result is cursing.. I said he doesn't use nice words. we are all adults here. We can take it.
You might be surprised how many times bernie has stood up against deplorable acts where no one dares to address it.
He is an asshole, but he is the asshole that tells it as it is.
Bernies posts are destructive. He provides no content to Steem.
well... im not gonna defend him. But i've fully support some of his campaigns before. He may provide zero content to steem.. but he serves a different role.
Imagine if you were a writer that spent days researching on a post and write the best and most thought provoking post... only to be eclipsed by a guy that shows some charts (at least thats how i see him, since im not a follower of him and know nothing about technical analysis).
Bernie says it as it is... albeit with some bad words added in there and there.
@haejin is simply paid too much in contrast to his perceived contribution on steem..
had he even establishes his presence here (rather than just cross-posting all his content).. i believe it will go a way different direction.
Very sad to see you go. But i hope you can understand the ebb and flow of the free market. Bernie simply feels that @haejin is being overpaid for the post he did. yes of course he may have given much value to you. But of course there is an ecosystem here in Steemit.com with many unwritten rules and nuances.
Being paid $600 for a post with less than 300 words sounds extremely unfair when comparing to other posts here made by users that has contributed way more to the community and platform. There are people that spend 6 months unpaid to develop a feature of steem that helps even you and me and still he makes less than @haejin.
this is not the community saying he should not benefit from steem... only rather his rewards (that is shared by everyone by the way) doesn't justify the content he made.
