Hey hey! Please give this post a chance before clicking on the flag icon!
We all are very much aware of fun and loving guy @barniesanders, yes the guy who don't have all the nice words to say about Vote Buying.
So first thing first I'm not here to judge @barniesanders 's actions, and I don't want to end up flag wars either.
In the platform where everyone is nice, and people are too afraid to keep their opinions forward, @berniesanders brings harsh facts in front of all steemians.(not here to say anything about his intentions)
His stance on Bid Upvotes-
Have you scrolled down the trending page lately, you would have stumbled upon many posts which are there just cause of upvote bots including @berniesanders post.
Yes, he himself has used the same upvote bots which he accused them of helping the posts to reach the trending page. Maybe people could say that's hypocrisy but when one is fighting the abusers you need to use sa
Please comment and resteem, everyone ideas, opinion are important. me tactics to get your intentions/opinions forward.
His stance on Reward Pool Rape-
We all are very much aware of the flag wars between team @haejin and @barniesanders (man those were fun times), he tried making one point how reward pool could affect the future of steem, his war didn't reach the consensus in the community but we all did get to know the imperfect side of STEEM.
Story cut short- In the midst of people circle jerking around whales, and whales supporting each other growing multiple time with the help of community at large we need some people who could put the facts straight without dreading the negative opinions/ flags. @barniesanders has put many points forward in the audience and give the option for continuous debates.
Am I a part of @berniesanders 's crew (if they have one)?
No, in fact, I don't even care much about STEEM working anymore and tag used by @berniesanders "whocares" has become one of my favourites lately.
Even I am not against any bot services, @haejin or any other reward pool rappers and spammers.
It's the opportunity to earn money for everyone else, @haejin got an opportunity of people liking his work and immense popularity, he, of course, will keep on writing as many posts as he wants and people surely going to upvote his post till they find value in it.
Same goes for the people providing upvote services be it @smartsteem, @minnowbooster or others. They all have an opportunity and resources to encash it. We all know how businesses work, how they entrepreneurs find the opportunity and need, and try to make profits out of it? Right?
It's not the people, the whales, the spammers, the bid-bots supporters who are at fault but the system, the steem blockchain and Steemit Inc.
Have you gone through this post by @themarkymark?
STEEMIT CREATES ACCOUNTS FOR SPAMMERS AND NOBODY ELSE
Just have a look at this post and think of the number of spammers increasing on this platform.
This truly shows the ignorance of STEEMIT to evolve and make the changes. You cannot expect everyone to follow the rules and regulation. That's why we have 'the government' in our countries.
Same with STEEM community, as long as people could find the different ways out to earn money they will keep on abusing the platform in their favour.
Today if we say that @haejin is rapping reward pool then imo you are looking just short-term.
We all want STEEM to go main-stream attracting audience and celebrities. Let's just take for instance that we get @kyliejenner on STEEPSHOT (Steemit's Instagram). I could guarantee you 100% that every pic posted by her would reach the trending on STEEM. She uses instagram for promoting her product brand, for continuous marketing she might even post tens of post every day.
Will people say she is rapping reward pools? with celebrity status comes the favouritism! You can't argue the same favouritism when it comes to @haejin.
Are you able the connect the dots now?
@haejin 's posts and reward pool rape would look nothing in front of her "two lips"/"two tits/butts" images. Will the people say then that she posts is lacking/ is thin content (yeah yeah I get your humour- not thin).
Who is at fault?
This guy, he is missing, depressed, helpless and whatever!
His last achievement in the programming world is "Aggrandizement" :P and he is been in hibernation mode since then.
He doesn't care about fixing the issues and taking in account the suggestions of minnows and community.
We still don't know where is he? What is he doing?
It's going to be 10 months since he introduced SMT project and the community still doesn't have any further updates!
For the non-stop growth community needs to debate and come to a consensus about different resource misuse on the blockchain. Every debate will go in vain without any solution. The STEEMIT Inc needs to act as arbitrator listening to the issues and feedbacks of the community.
With flag wars and reputation in line, the people could not put their opinions forward.
Coming back to @berniesanders
He may be using the system in his favour, but I am glad that he keeps the debate running. He still helps the new user to see the dark side of the platform, the irregularities, imperfection and abuse. And he keeps everything fun :)
WHO CARES? I DON'T! DO YOU?
