No it's that inevitably he get a 200$ upvote on every post from a single individual. Anyone downvoting is just downvoting it to detract from the inevitable 200$ upvote from rancho, and then the other 50$ upvote by him for himself. At no point was the content blocked. It might have been hidden. He is guaranteed a 200$ upvote every post so he does not need to worry about his content being hidden.

ok, makes sense. i didn't mean blocked, just hidden. i'm so confused by the drama. if he's posting good stuff, why does it matter?

@haejin .... can you please tell us who rancho is? why do they upvote you every time when they seem very inactive, otherwise? is that you gaming the system?

He has said that it is not him and he does not control it. I agree the drama does suck. I am not opposed to haejin making money for his posts. I would just like to negate the 200$ vote he gets for every post.

It matters because there are 50,000 active people on here. Haejin takes 5% of the rewards every day. The Lions share of that money comes from rancho and rancho only, the other large portion is from haejin himself. Rancho is upvoting him for a million dollars a year all by himself. If haejin had 0 views on a post, rancho would have still upvoted his post for 200$.. it's a problem because if you go to the trending or hot pages it is full of his posts, not because of merit. Because of ranchorelaxo.

I am sorry all this drama is around. It is centralized around a few people and if you block those few people you won't see it. Maybe I am one of them. I don't know.

I want what is best for the platform but at this point my desire to keep fighting is thinning. I should be gaming the system like everyone else and using this place to maximize my profits regardless of the impact on this new technology and new currency.

that makes a lot of sense. something is very fishy and i hope it gets figured out. this rancho person has $4m in their wallet! hhhmmmm, something strange happening.
