RE: @haejin Vote Report : 10-May-2018
You realize there are differences between when most people flag you and you then flag them back?
1)They flag/comment about you because most of your payouts come from the same 3 accounts. You in turn go and flag those people back not because you disagree with their rewards, you are just attempting to silence them and get revenge. They are the ones flagging because they disagree with your actions, you are just flagging them because you do not like that they disagree with your actions/
2)Their single flag does not even put a dent in your payout, yet yours destroys there rep and all their rewards. How is that not being a tyrant? You used to complain about Bernie, yet you are literally doing the same thing.
You are like a kid that got beat up and complains about being bullied. But then goes and turns around and beats up on other kids because they didn't like the fact you took an extra juice box.
3)You obviously have some sort of an arrangement with Starjuno. Even if you don't(I doubt it), you realize you and Starjuno flagged comments that disagreed with your TA before many people even flagged you? I had never flagged you at all until I was flagged by you and Starjuno several times to the point I lost 15 rep for simply commenting on your TA and that I would not recommend investing in certain coins based on research. How is that flag worthy, and better yet at the same time you complain about being bullied and flagged.
The main issue we are all in, including you, is if you stopped self voting and ended the agreements with your whale friends, most people would stop flagging you, and 99% of the people involved would be happy. The problem is those people that would stop are not the people you care about stopping as they barely put a dent into your profits and are not as relentless, you want the other whale bullies to follow suit. You guys are all playing a game of chicken that could very well end with both vehicles driving off the cliff and destroying this platform.
Another issue is you have now stooped to their level and started name calling like crazy. I honestly thought you were above that. I actually defended you against the racist stuff and name calling, because it is uncalled for, but now you are doing the same thing. Please just take the high road.
I honestly have nothing against your content even though I do not agree with some of it. I appreciate the time you take to do your blog and I am sure most people would agree as well. But please stop bullying minnows that are just voicing their opinion, just because they do not agree with you does not mean they are on your Nemesis' side and deserve to be flagged.
I hope you read this and reply, you would gain a ton of respect in my mind, but I doubt anyone would read this because I had my rep drop 40 pts because of you and your friend.
I have read this comment. Infact, many might have. Personally I read the invisible comments a lot than the positive ones because their points are very interesting to read. But most of us are afraid of commenting in places where these whales are present as they can destroy what we have gained through our hardwork of 3 or 4 months with the ease of a single mouse-clck!
Yeah, tell me about it. I have been dropped from the 40's now twice into the negatives, and now everything is hidden. Really makes this platform look bad when you are silenced for leaving input, speaking up against bullying, or providing counter points. How is this a revolutionary social platform if the majority of users can be silenced by a single whale and the rewards can be so easily manipulated.
The problem is that some of the whales that are attacking him are guilty of the same self voting, whale group stuff that he is doing. He is just doing it better and at least providing content to the platform. So when I make comments about him, really it applies to a good number of whales that are on this platform.
I worked my way back up once, but I am slowly losing interest in this platform as I mainly like to discuss topics and actually like to debate issues/topics. The funny thing is, majority of the comments that I was flagged for, ended up being correct. Yet I receive a -40 rep whammy, and the ones that got it wrong made $1,000's.
If you look at my activity on steemit in Steemd.com, you will find that I kicked off my steemit journey by upvoting @berniesanders's trending post about @haejin. It is these whales who decide what we should read when we enter into this platform. No wonder the interviewer in boomberang asked @ned about the quality of contents produced here as she might have stumbled upon such an absurd post when she had to observe it from outside.
Hundreds,if not thousands, of people like me are silent not because we have no opinion,but it is because of the difference in how we see steemit. Yesterday I saw a couple of comments wherein @haejin saying he is rich and don't need money but he strives here for visibility. But personally I don't think so. He is here for money. I'm not rich and even 1SBD I get is much valuable for me.
After I came here, I got a number of friends who produce really great contents. While talking to them over phone, we never had a day without speaking about haejin. I can surely say, majority of steemians don't like haejin but are not expressing it in public as they are scared of big flags. People like those who create #steemstem contents do them by great effort. Their writing frequency is much low like once in a week. But I don't know how haejin makes 10 posts a day! To be honest, I don't understand his posts as I'm new to crypto. I would say, he doesn't need 10 posts a day. He can make them all in a 2 or 3 posts. Anyway I have no issue with anybody and wish the good win!.
