I'm also a flagger of yours, though practically symbolic with my strength - purely because I disagree with the value. I liken it to Donald Trump taking 3-5% of the entire US economy for himself =D

Anyway the point is, I would bet the vast majority if not all flags and hate come purely from your overvalued self voting. I was taking notice from the start and to my memory it seems you were already self voting that way in order to cause outrage by bernie and so on, which then made people pick apart your posts and demonize your process.

I suggest two things that could shut some reasonable people like us up, and also put you in a better position if you feel its deserved:

• Take a 50% cut temporarily, without announcing it, by either declining payouts on half your posts, or putting two analyses on each post (which you should be doing at least regardless). If people continue to abuse you after a 50% cut, then you have more ground to show them up in a negative light, and if the abuse stops or drops dramatically, you know for sure that it's your rewards that everybody has an issue with and the community can discuss things from a more reasonable position.

You once said in a comment to bernie that you are already vastly wealthy and it's not about the money, it's about your followers. Well I don't think anybody will consider it a problem if you condensed your posts. In fact it would be more convenient since people who are away for a couple of days for example wouldn't have to scroll down your feed to find what they want, have 10-20 tabs open to read separate comments and so forth. Unless of course, it is about the money and you were just BSing at the time.

• Show the data of your claims. A lot of your angry rebukes of bernie and others come in rageful trolling and wild claims that the vast majority including myself don't know how to prove. For example, the bots taking $8,000 a day - how did you come up with these figures? Obviously people don't trust you so some rational backing up of your claims would go a long way. (if you already have somewhere, feel free to direct me to them)

I don't think anybody really believes you are the biggest problem, but you are one of them. There are fights going on across the board from spam, fraud, bots and so on. If you look at bernie's track history you are by no means his only target, he's looked into and attacked many examples of abuse. The same can be said for the whole community. You aren't being singled out, per se.

The main issue, I'm sure we all acknowledge, is the development of the platform is lax and slow, with priorities all over the place. Eventually when declining rewards for repeat votes come in, we might see some improvement, but it could be months, years until we see anything close to that. Until then, it's obvious that you are exploiting this too much in most people's opinions, regardless of whether or not others are doing it even more than you, and perhaps you could be the one to lead the initiative by removing some hate from you in good will even more weighted pressure can be put on other problems here.

Whether or not you agree with these ideas, the fact that you're doing nothing to improve things, not even suggesting other than 'make them do it first!', makes us all wonder where your intentions lie. So far it just reeks of 'MAKE MONEYYYYYY' and little else. Kinda not the spirit of steem. You have so many followers that you could make a huge impact just by writing a post proposing actions against other things you deem more problematic than yourself. Try it some time.

PS. Even if bernie was taking twice as much as you for one-sentence posts and doing it purely for greed, the fact that he is constantly fighting abuse makes this symbolically acceptable in my opinion. If you were to actually contribute to the community from your position of power, it would likely improve your social rank among the minnows vastly.
