RE: The Future of Steemit

in #steemit6 years ago

I dont understand why you attack him. He started iff with no votes and kept writing and posten daily post. All of which are valuable.

As a result he gets followers and upvotes.

If you dont like it, compete with him ans his content instead of attacking users that actually create value.

There is so much bs going on here attack those guys. What about vote buying and people selfvoting like gumpy cat etc.

Why do attack someone that actually creates balue for the platform.

Show me one user that brought more new users to ateem than him lately and put in more work.

He posts several videos a day and 10ish types post all self made and all valuable.

Just leave him be.

Sort:  

That said i value your effort and love for steem and so i follow you!

I didn't attack anyone.

This is a great comment and is the heart of what matters, for me at least. @haejin has not changed one bit since he started posting on this community months ago. He was persistent, put out great quality content and for months made pennies for his posts. This is exactly the kind of advice that you'll find our community doling out to new minnows. His posts were not just a single graph and a paragraph of text they were often a good long video as well where he shared his knowledge and approach to TA. To top it at all off those posts ended up being spot on most of the time and made a lot of people a lot of money and brought him even more viewers from outside the platform. Again, this is exactly what Steem and the community always want.

I watched as his followers grew and more importantly the number of views on his posts grew. His upvote to view ratio was way off because he was attracting a ton of outside views to the platform (and still is). That is exactly the kind of high quality content that Steemit is designed to attract and wants. Then one day a whale starts giving him all of his votes and suddenly all hell breaks loose.

To me this is just another reflection of a fundamental tension that exists at the heart of this experiment where the system itself is promoting and incentivizing something and when that something is actually achieved and is not in line with what some parts of the community want the end result is pretty nasty.

The whale realizes that haejin is an asset to steemit, thats why hes paying to keep him around. haejin has his own website and doesnt need steemit- steemit needs him. http://www.cryptocurrencytrends.info/

Geronimo downvoted me. Hes only following 16 people, yet has 288 following him. And hes all whiny stompy foot that his life blog posts dont reap the same rewards as a finanacial expert who has paid off people mortgages- aka haejin. You big crybaby. Have an issue- heres a tissue- try following more people, greedy brat.

Let's slow the roll right there. Steemit doesn't need haejin. It was rolling along just fine before him. Did he bring new users to the site? yes. Would steemit have been just fine had he never shown up? Also yes.
