I must admit I don't understand the purpose of Steem and as an outsider looking in it seems to be unfair, unbalanced, and pointless.
But that's just my opinion based on my limited use.
I would never attempt to do what haejin is doing if the entire time I was trying to help people I had to fight off jealous and greedy astholes too.
It just wouldn't be worth my time. Matter of fact, taking the time to talk about this nonsense seems to be a waste of time to me.
Dear @kwaman, when starting with Steem don't try to understand everything, just build relationships, support the people that post stuff you like and start blogging at a relaxed but steady pace. You will have many great experiences with the community here.
So far I've been unimpressed. I don't like echo chambers, group think, cults, or bullies. That's all I've experienced so far.
Obviously it's working for you guys or you wouldn't be here. Hopefully my experiences on Steem will get better over time.
If not, it won't be the first Internet failure I've seen nor will it be the last I'm sure.
Dig deeper.
I hear you but what you mention is a part of every country, city and community, both in real life and online. There is no avoiding it so it is better to not let yourself get bummed out by it and to simply rise above it.
These periodic drama flareups occur. They usually follow the same pattern.
Some user is getting oversized rewards and is happy than a pig in shyte.
One or more stakeholders (whales) spots what is going on and starts to counter the rewards.
All hell breaks loose because the recipient is happy to receive but is not happy to lose.
They fail to realize that the rewards are not theirs until payout takes place. Until then they can go up or down at the whim of the market.
People take sides and through posts and/or comments the debate rages.
While it seems all consuming when you are in the middle of it. The fact is for the majority of those active on Steemit, life goes on. They post, get voted on, get paid or not paid.
