@heajin I can fully understand your frustration, yet I would encourage you to stick with steemit for the time being.
Obviously, there is a very suspicious powergame going on, that's a big problem for the whole platform. It would really be sad to see the unreasonable bullies win, and let them have their say.
I believe that the steemit ecosystem should be strong enough to handle cases like this, as the argument seems to be clearly on your side. (In case it can't at least we know that there is something crucial to be fixed.)
I think the best thing to do is to document the organized downvote campaign carefully, and seek the attention of the wider steemit community. If a successful content-creator is targeted by specific wealthy users, for dubious reasons, this is a massive problem for everyone trying to use the platfrom properly.
I believe there are enough virtuos whales that simply aren't aware of the problem (@ned, @dan, @steemit...). If they became aware of your case, they would be highly incentivized to support you, as this is about the success of the entire platform in the long run.
Everyone reading this should feel compelled to spread the word in some way. The whales of course, can do alot by voting themselfs or delegating SP to others.
So @heajin I encourage you to be patient for a little. There is something shady happening on steemit, and it may be a great win for everyone if this can be exposed.
Of course this is merely an encouragement and you can do whatever you like. :)
Finally, please be ensured that you have many many supporters, that will do their best to help where they can! We are way more in numbers, than those attacking you.
Guys what if we can turn the table around and flag all those downvoters??? What if we retaliate???
The way to retaliate is to gift @haejin with litecoin or bitcoin----- and quit buying steem power! Pay the man directly- anytime there is a middleman involved- the true recipient gets screwed over.

PLEASE RETWEET these in support of @Haejin if you agree- Calling on Steem supporters to bring attention to the bullying that is going on here..
I'm surprised that there hasn't been any official post about this so far.
Simple solution really, in two steps:
By the way, for those who think Haejin's payouts are too high, check out the posts he made for months all receiving single digit payouts at best. If he is getting more now, it is a payoff for the early efforts that were unrewarded.
In my view, as a Steemit user for about 8 months, Haejin is the only reason to return. The site offers nothing that can't be found elsewhere, other than Haejin and the community of his followers/
@cannonball6 Precisely. You summed it up to the letter--the content on this site is nothing that couldn't be found a dozen different ways elsewhere online. The UI and UX on Steemit are rubbish, and the power of the voting system is obviously broken. So why would I buy 'steem power', in affect putting more money into the platform? Nooooo thanks. I see no value in propping up a broken system.
The moment Haejin goes elsewhere, I'm leaving Steemit and never looking back at this mess.
Ditto that, happytank Heres haejins site------> http://www.cryptocurrencytrends.info/
NAILED IT! I think we should all gift @haejin with bitcoin or litecoin--- and STOP purchasing steem power. This will defeat berniesanders and his minions and teach the steem managment a lesson!
I hope you do leave haejin. This platform is beyond stupid. Who makes these payouts? Steem? Perhaps these accounts that are voting you down are by the same people who are supposed to pay you? Perhaps it is more cost effective to vote you down than to pay you out?
If you go private I would GLADLY pay $5.00 per month subscription fee for every crypto I wanted to see your analysis.
You could put all of your content in front of the pay wall but make it 2 or 3 days behind. Paying subscribers could see your analysis in real time.
I admire and respect what you are trying to do here but like they say "No good deed goes unpunished"
I don't know for sure what is the motivation for this nonsense but it is just that, NONSENSE!
If you do open a pay as you go site please post the details on STEEM as I have no intention of getting involved in any other blogs on STEEM. If this is how it works, NO THANK YOU!
You don't understand Steem payouts. The pool for any period is constant. If Haejin gets paid more, others get paid less. Haejin getting more upvotes doesn't lead to "them" paying out more in total.
@haejin works for his posts. why should he be penalized for those who do no work? They are digital shoplifters, plain and simple.
everyone who posts works for their posts as well. that is why it is a community reward pool
everyone who posts and gets upvoted is in effect mining STEEM and is just as entitled as anyone else to a fair (not necessarily large) return.
All it takes is for one person to shit himself in the "Community pool"-- and everyone jumps out- for sanitation reasons. You can swim in it as long as you please, just remember- thats a turd, not a baby ruth candybar your munching on.
LOL!! Ill never swim in a community pool again!
some day you may make some sense but today isn't it.
You'll note I never said anything regarding Haejin, I just corrected misinformation in the comment I replied to. As such, your comment seems out of place, as if you're replying to the wrong person, or a strawman.
Im replying to a nitwit with a hollowed out watermelon rind on a cats head.
I really don't care how it works. The entire premise is stupid. Haejin could make far more with a subscription service instead of wasting his time fighting these astholes.
This place has become a big pile of steem.
See, that is the problem right there. Haejin and his followers acts like they dont care about community. Dont expect the rest of the community to like this.
I see someone is triggered with something here...
To @kwaman:
Steem comes from a philosophy that I agree with which is basically rewarding people by the content they make, directly, without relying in advertisement and such methods.
This comes with its problems, has some people, like @haejin are experiencing right now. People have always to mess with other's wellbeing and have a way to prevent other's success in any platform or website, etc.
As being @haejin able to make more money with a paywall or other monetizing method, I agree that he would probaly make some more bucks with a paywall short term, but I think he would be missing an opportunity to build an audience and to be paid directly by it.
To @haejin:
I hope you don't leave, I think you add value to Steem and its community and I also think that this is still very new, with relatively few users and that if you think long term you will see this being quite rewarding, not only financially.
With this said, you do whatever you feel you should do.
Cheers!
Problem is, it is WAAYY too complicated. Make a vote count as a vote, no need for multiple tokens, just stick with STEEM. Steem Power would be irrelevant if you could not power up, and there would be no need to do so if a vote was worth a vote. Steem Dollars are not an effective pegged asset. Get rid of both of those, and you have a huge improvement.
http://www.cryptocurrencytrends.info/ <------ Steemit needs @haejin. @haejin DOESNT need steemit. Im going here now, to hell with this wailing over upvotes. Please inform others.
I mean, spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, and then saying you don't care how things actually works is how you get there.
You'll note I also said nothing of the Bernie-Haejin fight, and just corrected you spreading misinformation.
Again, I guess I don't care enough about this nonsense to seek out the details. Life it too short.

I joined just so I could up vote haejin because he said it was important to him.
Now, I will not up vote anything on this platform. I don't like the way it pits people against each other and I find it to be non productive.
I check it from time to time just for train wreck curiosity.
As far as getting paid in Steem. I could not care less. It means nothing to me. So you all can down vote me all you want if it makes you feel better.
Like I said, I won't be voting on any posts anymore. Not even haejin's because I don't like the premise of this platform and I will not support it or those that exploit it.
I am going to follow suit, Kwaman, and gift haejin in litecoin or bitcoin. For a few months, I felt I had finally escaped the melodrama of facebook, only to have this ordeal rear its ugly head. Is there a place where rational adults can gather and be freed from this counterproductive nonsense?
