I appreciate your response, it does help in understanding where you are coming from.
"I don't think he's hurting the platform, because he is generating actual content and has many followers."
Truly if he gets these users to invest in Steem and power up then he is contributing. But it is also a numbers game. There is only 49000 Steem generated daily and Haejln is working the system to get >3% of that. If 33 other whales produced 'good' content and did the same then the rewards for everyone would go down, down, down until everyone was getting nothing.
Haejln could be less greedy and still get rich by just posting all his TA into 3 or 4 posts everyday. $300 of each post comes from his self vote and ONE whale vote that he probably bought.
Haejln could be happily doing his thing, earning $100,000/year on Steemit posting 3 times a day at $300/Post.
But he refuses to work with the Steemit community. But he REFUSES. He is only satisfied with earning $1 MILLION/year even if it means destroying Steemit and allowing his Followers to get ruined in the process.
What is that? It is greed and avarice.
Any normal person would have said "ok, I will listen to the community. I will accept $500 or $1000 each day. No need for me to be greedy."
Now, let me be clear, if all of Haejln's rewards were coming from 10,000 honest users and not 95% from one dirty whale, then no one would be upset. That would be amazing and honest community support.
However, 95% of Haejln's rewards are coming from ONE whale. One whale that was bought. It is the same as 100% self voting. 100% self voting is not permitted and will get you flagged.
To me, this is pure greed on Haejln's part. He can stop the flagging anytime he wants. Instead he lets his Followers get hurt and still he cries that he will "go private" so that the followers feel sorry for him.
He can stop the flags anytime. He can post 3-4 times a day, earn $300+ per post. Be rich and happy. But that is not enough. He wants MORE.
I dont know what more to say.
Fair enough. I will say that his posts are simply about making money ("massive profits"), so I have a hard time saying that he should limit his postings. I happen to read them all. He's covering several coins each day. Wouldn't it make more sense for others to copy his model, have over 25k followers, and post several times a day? So, I guess I respectfully disagree with your point. I also don't know what more to say, but I definitely appreciate your comments. Best of luck to you!
