Supporting such a sketchy individual would be a really bad move and would further degrade the reputation of Steemit. I can almost see the headlines in VICE magazine, Steemit Pays Scam Artist Thousands For Posting Doom Porn On Its Platform.

It's a bit too late for that. This platform has already paid him thousands. As for the reputation of Steemit, take a look around. This is too little, too late. It's about time a whale looked into the absolute mud-scooping, bottom-feeding, petrified stupidity that is @dollarvigilante's writing. The "little people" have been crying foul for a while and when they weren't heard they left. Maybe this will serve as a warning for future platforms.
