RE: @haejin EXCEEDS 11,200 FOLLOWERS!!! THIS PROVES People Follow for GOOD CONTENT NOT BAD CONTENT!!!
This isn't a haejin problem though, it's a steem problem. Look at my replies dude.. I have tried to defend haejin and bernie/randowhale downvotes everything I've ever posted.
The flags I am seeing from haejin are mostly randowhale and berniesanders sheep. You guys don't see that Bernie is the one causing problems.
I have made good profit since learning technical analysis. If you see no value in his posts, then I can see why you would think is flags are malicious.
The dude deserves way more credit than he gets. I still haven't seen any valid "harm" that he has done.
He targeted the Steem Poker League, the prize pools for which are financed out of Steemit profits. That's not just bad, that's satanic.
Nice hyperbole.
Upvoted anyway. I like it!
No - it's not hyperbole. It's about right.
Making innocent people for your greed-war is actually worse than some stupid little red devil with horns under the Earth.
He fucked with the wrong people.
You mean the crypto baron that hijacked Steemit and are forcing people to pay to have any kind of visibility turning the steemit in the exact opposite of what it is suppose to be ?
And honestly I think that was wrong. The explanation is that it is a reaction to the harm that bernie and his gang of bots and followers has caused our community. Bernie is attacking @haejins followers, and those who are conspirering against our community are getting the same treatment back.... Not saying its right though, just that it is the facts...
Bernie downvoting you for defending haejin or expressing an opinion is not right. If it's not right when bernie does it, then it's not right when haejin does it. Bernie's motto is not "Do no harm". Downvoting a single post is one thing. Downvoting all posts for a user is another altogether (without a specific reason for each post). I know Bernie has done this. What many of you and haejin don't seem to understand is that we are not aligned. We are not sheep. I have 0 allegiance to Bernie. He has no allegiance with me. The same can be said for @themarkymark.
A post about a 100 Steem give away for charity has nothing to do with this. Downvoting such a post does harm.
As I said before, this is a problem with the steem platform. We will run in circles if we just say the problem is bernie or the problem is haejin.
I think steem would be better if there was no flagging whatsoever. It would be even better than that if rewards were based upon the quality of content rather than the spamming of bots.
That being said, Haejin is not here to harm the steem community. He is helping a great deal of people and I personally think he provides fantastic content. I am confident he would not need steem to promote himself, nor does he need the money from steem. Look at his donation addresses, he has plenty of money.
If steem will forever be dominated by whales, I hope more like haejin show up. While you see him as malicious, I see him as the best content creator on the platform. He is also building a community of people learning from him. I see no greater gift he could give me than the gift of knowledge I have received.
He may not be here to harm, but he is causing great harm. His content may be helpful to many of you, but it isn't very helpful to the Steemit community in general. Now, could that change? Yes. But based on his recent actions and stated plans, I doubt it very much. He is just as malicious as Bernie, if not more so.
The knowledge he gives is fine to give to his customers. However most of the steemit community does not want to buy his product. To retaliate against someone for not buying your product is wrong. That is what he does when he wipes out a person's earnings for downvoting one of his $1000/day posts for -.02. It is harmful. I can attest.

Meh, they are really about the same right now. Both pretty bad in terms of downvotes.
The flag is necessary to judge the value of the content. I agree that his product (teaching and analysis) has potential to be useful to everyone, but not everyone wants to make use of that potential. I doubt most people would bat an eye at your upvote. This whole thing started from a single user with a +300 upvote on every one of his posts. Now, while the system allows such power over the reward pool, it does allow the steemit community a method of recourse. That recourse is the downvote. Now, it got a bit too overzealous and blanked out one or two of his posts, but that was it. While he doesn't force your vote, using his considerable influence over the reward pool would force the reward pool to pay him if the community members didn't have the ability to downvote him.
I get your guys' point though. The flag really does have a negative connotation everywhere, but it doesn't quite mean the same thing here. It really should be two different things. The flags on haejin's stuff should stop at around $120 or whatever similar post types dictate. I'm not even that upset with 200, but if they were unchecked, they would be $1000 per post, and I don't feel like that is an accurate representation of the value of that post to the community.
For example, I sell a product here on Steemit that costs 20 Steem. Now, if I accepted upvotes as payment for that product, I would be wrong. Here's why: it cost the community, not the upvoter. The funds belong to steemit and the community is given the responsibility to spend it. If they do not have the ability to counter the whims of a whale, the system will continue to be scammed.
If haejin content is not good enough... then Sanders' content is what...? After all, all I've ever seen from him is Bullying, Cursing, Insulting and Censoring.
He adds NOTHING to the platform except anger.
Unless SteemIt is the new USSR, Bernie's content is utter crap... and yet, it's being rewarded like gold. Explain that.
What a f... hypocrite that bernie is.
Why is it not helpful to the steem community? Anyone can learn technical analysis, Haejin is just a very good teacher and a very good predictor.
I don't really see what his product is also, he is not forcing me to upvote or donate to him.
I agree with you that whales ability to wipe out earnings is wrong. That being said, as long as the flag is there it will be abused by anyone who has the money to abuse it. Bernie is definitely the worst though.

Bernie's motto is not "Do no harm".... and yet, he spends his days creating Stalinist bots to downvote every post and every comment from everyone who defends haejin...?
The guy is not only an absolute jerk, he's a Communist Hypocrite.
@moeknows You got downvoted by @haejin in one of your posts above. I believe you aimed it at @berniesanders but the message was unclear exactly whom you were addressing. So much confusion and inevitably friendly fire.
Edit: Maybe I'm the only one confused.
Nah, I'm sure he meant to give me a full 100% downvote. He has learned well from Bernie. I kind of called him out on the fact that his motto is "Do no harm" yet harm he does. Oh well, such is life. You can read the conversation below...or above...I always get mixed up where these posts end up once the flags and upvotes start getting thrown around.
Anyway feel free to join the conversation. Be careful though, there be hungry whales in the water.
The Flag system is completely broken. When a single user can set up an Army of 60 Bots to persecute anyone who disagrees with him... and yet, keep cashing out 750$ a day from the platform, it's time to revise the rules.
I believe a limit of 3 Free Flags per Day should be allowed, but no more.
More than that, and cash should be taken from the Flaggers account... at an exponentially increasing rate...
Ex:
Flag 3 times in a day: Free
Up to 10 Flag in a day: 10 Steem
Up to 20 Flag in a day: 25 Steem
Up to 50 Flag in a day: 100 Steem
Up to 100 Flag in a day: 250 Steem
Up to 500 Flag in a day: 1000 Steem
Up to 1000 Flag in a day: 2000 Steem
All this Steem would, of course, be going into the Reward Pool. I bet Bernie would think again, before going in yet another Censorship Spree. :-P
