@berniesanders, this tool is the easiest tool to catch self/proxy voters. Some "cute" comment is earning $50 which could be $300 due to SBD's broken peg. http://www.steemreports.com/trending-comments/

everything in the eco-system self corrects, no matter what, even if Nibiru hits us....no worries, just let whales n' plebs like most of the users including me, spend our steem products on this instead of reinvesting it perhaps into...steem?

Agree it will correct itself, no matter how decentralized things are... power consolidates naturally cant stop it

There is a world of a difference between Haejin and that user. That person on that screenshot is not contributing at all whilst Haejin actually contributes A LOT. Ugh.

He contributes crap posts that have nothing in them that is legitimate or original. Just a bunch of crap posts with pictures. Are you another fake account? Oh yeah, you have only ever posted on Haejin and you are very knew. Fake account by Haejin, it is over man. Stop being a PoS.

LOL. I am not a fake account, the reason I did make the account is because the least I can do for someone providing me so much info is to upvote. If it wasn't for Haejin, I would have just read his posts non-registered. If you took your time to look at my profile you would have seen from my comments what I said above, 2 weeks ago.

Also, I really hope you are just someone uninterested in TA because you'd know that TA is not meant to be original first of all, it needs to be concise and sense-making. You seem you can't capture the value he's putting out to me and other people who has made significant gains from trading crypto's.

You are far too biased about this ordeal, as your name suggests. There is no point discussing this. That all, while you state ''People Oriented, Information Seeking, Debater, Poet, the list doesn't end.'' Go fix your mindset first please.

Lol sure am Biased, everyone in the world is. It just is a matter of how biased you are. You, as a new user on Steem (Trying to be nice considering I still think you are fake) and not understanding how the platform works, should understand the platform before you try to say somebody deserves the rewards from that platform. Why don't you actively become a participant on Steem and learn how it works before blindly supporting someone when you have NOOOOOOOO idea how the Steem economy works or what he is doing to negatively affect the Steem economy.

No, you blindly follow a guy that 90% of the Steem community disagrees with how much money he makes. So who is right, your supreme overlord who has brain washed you into thinking he deserves this money? Or, the 90% of people that are working EVERY SINGLE DAY to make this platform better.

Open your eyes.

I can even go so far to arrange a skype or discord call and prove I am not him. Again, I care 100% solely on cryptocurrencies and information that helps me create wealth. Steem community itself is for me a by-matter, because I wouldn't have considered joining without Haejin (I did explore around a little e.g. Blue Rock Talk). I am really surprised how you do not understand why someone can't join to just follow one person. To me, Haejin is the to-go person on spotting opportunities in TA. Do you really think that if he'd move on to another platform, I would stay?

Now you suddenly touch upon the thing about disagreement on making money. In my very first comment in this comment section I also said, I DO understand the issue with the % division on this platform. I never said I supported the division, but you are blatantly pointing your fingers to him and his ''fake'' followers. That is just incorrect. I will just await answer of dev now, they will probably have better info on the issue than you OR me.

I have to agree with @wonderweiss.

It is not acceptable to take anybody who isn't blessed with a long track record - and make ill-founded claims that they are "another fake account" just because they speak out in support of a person that you have an issue with.

Oops. I must be another fake account also.

Some people aren't interested in the whole 'posting' thing. Steemit has multiple paths of revenue - posting 'and' curation. Are we really going to begin claiming that those who aren't posting are merely pool-rape bots?

If Steemit were truly serious about preventing any form of pool rape then self-up-votes would be disabled. But no - unfortunately its allowed.

So you are telling me someone will join Steem and only ever comment on one account? Sure... seems legitimate. I also make social media accounts and only ever follow ONE person and never look at or comment on other peoples post. Sure.....

I ONLY joined because of @haejin, and pretty much only follow and comment on his blog.

I don´t behave like you when I use Steemit, and I think that it is okay if someone is only interested in one thing... Who elected you dictator?!

Just recently I have started branching out and looking at other blogs, and now I am liking Steemit more. THIS IS NORMAL!

That is precisely what I am telling you. You can even find whales who appear to have no interest in posting. Are you going to apply your logic to them also?

My point: Before firing from the hip, ensure that you actually have good cause to do so as otherwise you'll merely be fouling up the atmosphere.

Yes, and these whales do not up vote anyone, or if they do, they up vote a majority of people. They don't just up vote ONE person.

It seems you are missing some core points of this.

I could very well be and I do not exclude this likelihood.

Of course, the voting behaviors of whales and minnows shall differ. I feel that we can discuss voting behaviors more fruitfully on the other branch recently responded to. :c)

"He contributes crap posts that have nothing in them that is legitimate or original."

Who nominated you guys to be the Stalin Censorship Commission of SteemIt?

@haejin has a legion of fans due to his content. He's that good.

You guys are a bunch of jealous brats. You wished you could be as good as him. Don't you? Well, keep dreaming, kids. You're a long away from graduating from Kindergarten.

How can you say that? He has literally made TUTORIALS teaching Elliot waves and pattern recognition, and is constantly repeating himself to teach new people on new video analysis... Have you got nothing better to do with your time than to bash on someone you don't even know anything about?

I'm saddened by this. So I guess, it's not really about quality anymore?

If we want to attract more users to Steemit and at the same time increase its value, then something really needs to be changed. People are smart, but often they use this to abuse. Greed comes in, and deserving people get less and less.

This one tops it all over 40 bucks for a lousy comment like ( Wow:D) what has steemit become there need to be taking actions. Thanks @irreverent-dan for your investigation. I hope the Whales and devs will do something to stop this abuse of the reward pool!!!

Perhaps a good first step is to edit Steemit's design such that people like me can no longer validly claim that it is designed to allow rape of the reward pool (self-up-voting).

Of course - the counter-argument is that such is an exercise of their investment within Steemit - but ultimately a curation of self is a contradiction.
