RE: The Reward Pool for Morons - It's a Bid Bot Stupid!
Even with all Bernie's flagging efforts, Haejin is still getting 3.6% of the reward pool:
3 quarters of that is coming from RanchoRelaxo, with the other quarter coming in from people hoping to get curation rewards. Haejin's actual followers barely have $50 between them, they're not invested in this platform, but they're hoping to get that rare Haejin upvote in the comments... except, with a vote of nearly $100, guess where it all goes:
I'd actually have no problem if RanchoRelaxo gave Haejin all this money (surely they have a side deal though?) and then Haejin distributed it amongst crypto fans, that'd be fine... He didn't vote anyone but himself today, he voted four times for people yesterday, and then made a huge amount of flags... so yeah, pretty unhappy with him.
Honestly, at this point, I would actually like Haejin to go away... I don't think he's brought any investment into the platform, his fans aren't contributing, he's not contributing or reinvesting.
I think we're at the point where Witnesses need to made a stand for or against, and the Steem community should vote for the Witnesses that support their viewpoint. We're only going to see this issue arise again and again as people with a huge audience on other platforms find this one...fans that have no interest in any other content.
