Hello, I don't mean to get too involved in your little spat, but I do have 2 requests:
my comment as it is the right thing to do and I never attacked you?@haejin, can you remove your downvote from
Since both of you are rich, can you both simply deny payout, at least for the time being? @haejin, your posts would still trend as you stated is your greatest goal, and you would almost instantly win the hearts of many steemians who would read and upvote your blog. @randowhale, you would also find great support from steemians and you would no longer have to worry about disproportionate reward pool disbursment.
I think this is a reasonable request. Well, I think both requests are reasonable, especially number 1.
@moeknows Why should @haejin deny payout. Makes no sense as he is putting effort into posting. Its like saying Warren Buffet is already rich so should stop investing and making money.
Because he has said multiple times he doesn't need the money and that he is just doing it for the exposure. Bernie and many other steemians have expressed worry about his effect on the rewards pool. If he denied the payout, he would instantly gain more exposure and effectively win this war. If he really doesn't care about the money earned on steemit, it is the best play for him to make. He could have thousands of new followers and clients and make friends from enemies. Bernie was already someone both hated and loved on steemit way before this schism ever happened. He would most likely remain so.
@moeknows , @haejin has already said he is donating rewards to charity and even if he doesn't it is his decision.
There is no doubt the money Haejin makes on this platform is peanuts from what he makes from investing. Any financial investor would know this.
I dont believe @haejin should deny payout. He is in the right. Bernie has done this to many before e.g. @dollarvigilante . I find it admirable @Haejin and @ranchorelaxo are standing up to bullies. The reward pool and the system is how it is. Much better @haejin's content being rewarded appropriately than the current rubbish on steemit e.g. lifestyle, photos of london. That is a total joke.
It makes no difference. If people do not agree with his payouts, they should downvote him. If he says he just wants the visibility, he would gain more visibility by denying the payouts. You're right. He doesn't have to deny the payouts. I'm just saying that it would be in the best interest of his stated objectives. If his objectives are to make money (whether to give away or keep) then he shouldn't state otherwise.
The actions of @haejin and the actions of @berniesanders are indistinguishable. They do the same things, just to different people. They are not standing up to the reward pool system, they are exploiting it in very much the same way that many others including @berniesanders have been called out for in the past.
This is not relevant. It's millions of dollars and it comes at the expense of the platform in general.
And yet, you are here. That is your opinion and you're ok to vote in accordance with that opinion. Many disagree (much to your past benefit, ironically).
