RE: 25,000 followers strong - Tribute to Steemit's most successful story.

See, this is an area that needs good understanding and discussion:
"stealing away @haejin's hard earned rewards"

It is impossible to steal rewards on Steemit because they are not "yours" until 7 days are completed and the community has decided upvote and downvote what a post is worth.

However, it is not that simple either.

No money on Steemit is "hard earned"... That, in American English, has the understanding of "a job with an agreed salary" that you have worked your hours and earned.

Steem is "shared" or given out from a community "pool". It is not UNlimited. There is a limit.

Sometimes one Steemian may post an excellent post and get noticed by a whale or many whales and rewarded $300-$1500 for one post.

But in 18 months I have never seen 1 whale only EVER upvote one Steemian. Ever. This is not normal. The closest example is when one Steemian PAYS another Steemian for upvotes. Then you will have one whale upvoting another each and every post.

Since 95% of Haejin's rewards are coming from 1 whale, and he always upvotes at 100%, it doesnt seem like it is about quality. Good TA or bad TA, ranchorelaxo is rewarding Haejin $250 per post.

So the "quality test" is not being met. So people dispute that "this post" or "that post" is really worth that. And people are saying "No", these rewards are too high according to the quality, it is not fair or right for Haejin to be receiving 3%-5% of the rewards EVERDAY. Something is not right. It is not QUALITY that is getting Haejin the rewards. Ranchrelaxo has just pushed the AUTO button to always give Haejin 10 - 100% upvotes everyday. And that is not "OK".
