I voted for you as a witness a while back, before all this haejin stuff happened, i will not change my vote. No amount of pleading is going to sway that..... If he is really that desperate to get rid of you @themarkymark then why doesnt he jist use his whale to bribe people with 100% upvotes to take their vote back? Because its all just for show so he gets more followers.....
And why doesn't he set up a witness and a rpc node?
If he has the power and the followers, it would be easy for him to be a witness.
He would also show, that he is interested in the community and not only here for profit and easy money.
Witnesses are supposed to give a shit about the blockchain and community. His god complex denies him that ability.
Oh Yes thats true
Yah, his witness and seed node would help the community, especially with about 19 seed nodes active currently
His followers are not much of the think for themselves sort.
Nope, i see them as haejin is the hearder. His followers are his sheep.
But i'm no sheep, no matter how much power you have, i will not be afraid of you. I'm my own man and nobody will sway my personal opinion with a slander post.
Thanks for being a true steemian @themarkymark

How do we know that his followers are not fake accounts? If one was clever, this could be done with a few employees - which would be well worth the expense.
I believe some are looking at voting speeds. It is very possible they are real and they are loyal to him but they give nothing to community. Very few have more than the default 0.05 Steem Power and most of them don’t post. They only resteem Haejin and comment.
Hello @themarkymark and @binaryuniverse, nice to e-meet you! I imagine you've already read this @behindsteemit contribution (https://steemit.com/steemit/@behindsteemit/behind-steemit-16-haejin-voting-circle-berniesanders-right) that partially confirms your suspicion, binary.
A part of his followers accounts is fake... and another part is critical about his behaviour (I confess I do follow his threads, but it doesn't mean I support their content, haha, and I bet we're many Steemians doing so).
Mark, I'm gonna send you right now my Witness vote. Keep up being yourself :-)
I FOLLOWED YOU.. ARE YOU FOLLOW ME ???PLEASE
Take a break from this futile war! Come over to @steemsilvergold and spread a little LOVE instead!

I'm beginning to wonder if you guys are playing off each other to create some sort of Steemit melodrama. It's a cool look at the evolution of performance art, capitalizing off Steemit in a Kardashian sort of way.
I wish that was all it was. I really do.
I'd honestly love to just go back to posting tutorials and about cool technology. There is zero point for me to blog at this point as it just gets downvoted -$300.
Yeah, I feel that you could have gotten swept up in something, and am sorry if my comment came across as hurtful.
I recall similar posts betweeen @haejin & @berniesanders last week. While it may not be as fun to post about for you, this storyline is probably the most compelling content on Steemit right now for the semi-new, semi-serious Steemian.
Hopefully the infighting won't last forever, but I do think it will be a compelling footnote and history lesson posts will be made about it if Steem continues to grow and thrive.
Where are the whales at for supporting you? Why aren't whales stepping in? Have you asked around?
No one likes getting flagged or not getting ROI from their voting power. As a minnow all I can do is write.
Sort of wondering about that angle myself lol
This brings you a lot of popularity right now, it just has the oposite effect. I have voted for you as a witness since last night when I have read your first articles on the topic, even though I was considering voting for you for a longer time :)
Thank you, I appreciate it.
My thoughts exactly.
Can you dial down the drama? You guys are acting like Jr High Girls before cheerleading practice.
Right, I actually agree with you here. @themarkymark I think you need to step up and be the bigger guy here. Calling for people to not vote for you as witness is not a measure to silence you.
the -$300 downvotes are the measure to silence me, the calling for people to un-witness me is an attempt to cause more damage and harass.
How am I not the bigger guy? I never flagged him, I never sent 10000 followers to attack him, I never sent endless threats. I presented facts and proof to back it up and I have become primary target #1 for their campaign.
You are convincing but I have been following this guy since he literally made 2 usd and ~50 views per post. It went on for months. What mind thinks of a long con like that?
Too much misinformation here for average Joe. Some influential parties have not yet been revealed I guess.
I am skeptical but I am very open-minded he may be as good as people claim, that's not the issue at hand. The problem is the $380 votes 10 or more times a day from a shared reward pool primarily from one voter.
Well ok, I can see why this may be a problem. But I do not understand why the focus is not on rancho as he is the one with the voting power. I have not been able to find evidence they are operating under the same flag. If anything blockchain info points to the contrary. (Perhaps you can enlighten me)
If Haejin would stop blogging and rancho would instead start upvoting you, would you stop Steeming?
You said he launched and all out war on you with death threats. That's illegal. Can you provide proof?
It's all on the blockchain, there are zillion messages I got here and in private.
Here is an example.
Is @tt-dogg another account of @haejin? Did @haejin personally send you death threats?
Look man, if you really did receive death threats why don't you contact Steemit INC? They have the right to shutdown any account involved in illegal activities on this platform. Also, contact the police.
These flag wars will not solve anything. Both sides act like a bunch of spoiled little kids who argue about who and how they should use the toys they've been given.
Maybe bigger than that just by a bit. I'm just agreeing with @whatsup, perpetuating the drama has little value, especially for the casual reader. But then what, ignore it? No I don't say that so I appreciate your dilemma and know that I do support you, not because of the beef war but because I like your style.
Maybe I could revise and say: continue to be the bigger guy and continue to say what is true. Call silencing silencing. Call denouncements (which is what the witness disenfranchisement call is) denouncements.
I can't post normal posts as he flags them, even posts where I give away money. He completely flagged Steem Poker League so their rewards for their community were zero'd because someone disagreed with him.
If no one says anything, he will take even more than $66K/week, my estimates if he wasn't flagging and was getting a full week worth puts him around $150K-$200K/week for posting charts. This is money taking out of a shared reward pool.
Steem..
come for the money ..
stay for the drama!
@themarkymark is not being dramatic. I am addicted to drama so I would know! He is being altruistic for the community. Steemit is a very good idea and he seems committed to the original ideals.
This subject could decide the fate of steem.
The growth will not exponentiate if the funds are not distributed among new users.
The community will band together and resolve this issue together. Hopefully fine-tuning the community and leading to a better platform for everyone that is not corrupt. Voted for you as a witness good luck.
I FOLLOWED YOU...ARE YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ME????
Voting for you as witness.
Thanks mate
Sometimes it pays to just "Step away from the keyboard"
This flag war needs to stop. No one is winning and we are losing!
good work man
Hello friend, I again, neither against nor in favor in this war, but maximum enemy of the flags. The stage that I feared has arrived.
The best blockchain, more capacity, faster, cheaper, decentralized, consensual, democratic ... but with flags. Flags that in the hands of groups of economic power can force the change in the consensus of witnesses. By alienation of population groups, by boredom of harassed witnesses ...
Remember "Video Killed the Radio Star" ?
Maybe soon we have to sing "flag killed by blockchain star"
but most like to choose someone like you as a witness @ themarkymark and i will ask all my friends from indonesia. to choose you as a witness
