Fuck sakes guys lol. I totally get the point of this. I do care about the raping of the rewards pool. I used all of my weekly VP downvoting that rapist @haejin and the heat I took from regular users was ridiculous.
I have a hard time understanding how anyone can agree with 10+ $250 posts a day. How can anyone agree that a 1.3 million dollar whale who only has ever upvoted only @haejin's posts not in the least bit fishy.
A lot of users are too much of a pussy to downvote for fear of being counter attacked. I don't agree with this rape either even though it's to prove a point.
This platform needs to be protected by the large stake holders. I don't understand why all witnesses aren't steeping up to the plate or why @ned cannot implement something to put a stop to this.
There is not a single person in this world who's blog's would be worth $60,000 to $80,000 a week. I tried to help downvote @haejin as well as many other scams I've come across on this platform. 15,000 SP only does so much.
I was surprised by the results of the @haejin situation. I definitely can't believe how people are so blind to the issue. What can we do? As I said at the beginning "I Do Care"!
I didn't even downvote him, I just provided some data and I got 10 different people downvoting me and a major size witness vote lost as a result. People seem happy that one person can get a huge portion of the reward pool posting 10+ times a day.
Then his response was:
Ouch, that sucks! And yeah, people seem happy that one person can earn anything between $2000 and $4000 per day...
However, OP gets flagged for doing this... It's just weird.
The op is voting for $20-30/comment, it's easier for 1-2 people to flag that. When it is like $200-400 like Haejin, you need a lot of people to work together.
True! - But 1 or 2 would at least do something. Btw. I just voted for you. I should've done that days ago but I forgot about it.
I know some people have sacrificed significant stake, and are not likely the ones you would have expected.
Thanks :)
Make sure no one make money Judge boy!
It's very weird indeed. Maybe there's more to it then I know about. I don't know who the user @haejin is and I don't know who @rancerelaxo or whatever his name is is.
I don't know who all the users with low reps defending him are. All I do know is that real users regular active Steemians with good reps are somehow choosing to defend this.
Accusations of "witch hunts", "jealousy" and "not understanding EW and TA" are being thrown around. Ovibously these are just terrible debating tactics which have been used for all time. Avoiding the situation at hand and countering with a different topic.
The matter is simple to understand and simple to see. The problem is not the content i.e. The "TA or EW charts". The problem is not a user being attacked as a "witch hunt" or big fish being "bullies".
It's simple and it's very simple. A whale account was made and funded with a large amount of SP I believe 1.3 million. Is this a problem NO. It's actually a benefit to all users. The fact is however this whale has never voted for anyone on Steemit besides @haejin.
How can regular Steemit users defend this stating that @haejin shouldn't be penalized because a whale "found him" really?? I don't think found should be the word used. If people don't see this as peculiar then I'm afraid we're in for a bigger problem. If the main goal of the @rancherorelaxo whale is to only upvote @haejins posts and nobody else's but it's in bed with @haejin then their investment goal is actually only to receive curation rewards for only @haejin. I find this hard to believe.
If I was Columbo and had to figure out this mystery and make an educated guess or accusation. I would say in my opinion again only an opinion is that:
@haejin, @ranchorelaxo and those other 25-50 accounts at least are a group of people who have developed a "scam" yes I said it a "Fucking Scam" to create content through @haejin's account and upvote it continuously while at the same time invest their own money as well as the profits generated into the @ranchorelaxo account until it becomes a whale. Once it reaches whale status to then upvote each and every one of @haejins posts to rape the reward pool and start making huge profits for the select individuals in the investing group.
Teach me more master!
i hope in hf20 they will implement what if you vote on same person you will receive no curation rewards, at least 25% will go to pool
Also, decrease rewards each time a user is voting on the same person. This will surely solve a lot.
I think the that this is just giving us information that the whole weight voting scheme has flaws, maybe the whales have too much power
If you refer to libertyteeth as major sized, he isn't and you don't want that vote anyway
Often when you stand up for the right things you will get flagged. It happens to me when I defend promotion upvote services for minnows. If the whales can rape the system daily why flag a minnow who spend hours or days writing a post and has bought advertising promotion services to try to get some extra eyeballs on a high quality post. The people flagging minnows are bullies as they never flag those big whales. They are scared to death. Something needs to be done with the next hardfork.
I'm actually very aware that you didn't downvote any of @haejins posts and only provided the reports on the matter.
I'm not concerned about the shills which either @haejin created or somehow came from nowhere. I'm more concerned with more reputable users who somehow fail to see the problem, choose to ignore or somehow actually think this would help the platform.
Maybe once this place is fucked the hindsight will kick in. Although I would like to see action taken to prevent rather then wait it out and play the let's see what happens game.
bignose
LOL, another Haejin groupie going around flagging people and searching really deep for an insult.
well i followed this quite closely and got a bit of heat also for putting the finger in the wound. nobody wanted to understand that there is something going wrong, everybody was just singing and praying somehow as if this guy would be the archbishop of a strange cult ...
I dig your passion!
Welcome to flagit.com you helped so much.
What's the @haejin situation I keep hearing about everywhere around here?
You clearly didn't read what I wrote but thank you for your opinion.
I think that @sweetsssj's posts are not worth the $700 + each that they receive however in her defense she's only posts once every 2 days not 10+ times per day.
What would you think if 16 or 17 groups of people mimicked the @haejin/@ranchorelaxo system. Say these groups all did an exact replica of the current situation and all received 6% of the pool each.
Would you still defend the 16-17 accounts receiving nearly the entire reward pool each week?
so this 3 sentence TA from haejin really is worth that ?
come on you should know better.
Steemit is still relatively young. Fluid, dynamic and aggravating - yes. I feel it will all sort itself out.
His posts are mainly pump and dump enabling plus post spam sometimes.
Lol what does that even mean?
Oh like the rapeseed plant? Lol
