RE: Delegate your STEEM Power to @haejin!!! Strength in numbers Against @berniesanders the THUG!! @randowhale is a SCAM!!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I think Bernie is going a little over board but I do understand where he is coming from. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Haejin's content. However, i also understand steemits eco system. Haejin gets a lot of the reward pool just because he has a huge following that upvotes every chance they get. That's slightly unfair for other content creators. For example, if someone like Casey Neistat or some other crazy famous person told their followers to come on steemit and upvote everything they post. They'll probably take like 50% of the reward pool which is crazy. Reward pool shouldn't be allocated solely on follower count and more about content quality. I think steemit needs to have a much larger community in order to fix this imbalance issue but i dont know for sure hehe

Sort:  

Why is it unfair that people upvote Haejin? He provides value to us all here. On just my last trade, I was able to gain a full bitcoin by knowing when to sell and when to buy back. That is just one trade. I vote him up because that is the LEAST that I can do to repay him. How is this unfair to others? Sounds like he is being penalized for being successful by a jealous person who provides no value...

Don't get me wrong, you can upvote all you want. but that's not the point. However, the upvote distribution in the steemit community is skewed towards Haejin. Majority of his followers only view his content and don't follow anyone else. This creates a flaw in the ecosystem. I would encourage people to diversify their upvotes to other content creators as well because that balances out the allocation of rewards more evenly. If that makes any sense haha.

So your entire point is that @Haejin brought thousands of people to Steemit, and they appreciate his work so much that they all upvote him. And smaller people with less impactful work are unable to pull as much of the reward pool because they don't impact as many people as positively as @Haejin does.

And that all of that, despite being the exact premise behind steemit, is somehow unfair?

:thinking:

I see where you are coming from but I think you are missing something here. I joined steemit because of Haejin. So I am only here for him. I don't have a problem with other content creators here but I literally found Haejin on YouTube and followed him here. If other content creators were bringing in followers maybe their would be the balance you seek. But this is not Haejin's fault. If he is bringing in people and benefiting from his work, why would that be negative? I watched his YouTube account exploded with subscribers and I am sure there are lots of folks that are exposed to Steemit because of him. My point is, he is working hard to promote what he does and its working. Unless he is doing something wrong or shady, he deserves his rewards.
