RE: My BLOGS are HELPING STEEMIANS!!!
Now, how exactly is he stealing rewards? Steem dollars aren't your until you receive them, what you see under your post/comment is just a prognosis of what it seems you will get based on the current situation. But the world is not static, everything changes, the votes as well.
And flagging a guy because "he earns too much" stinks Marxism. I hold the view that people should be able so sell their talents on free marked, and the talents that are most useful will get most reward. This is how Steemit works.
But that only applies when the people he sells it to pay out of their own pocket. Steemit works off of a community fund in which everybody has a say in how it gets spent. The community shouldn't be forced to buy something they don't use. If you want to pay him for his analysis, do it out of your own pocket, not the reward pool.
But this is how Steem works. Yes, you do not pay somebody of your money, but you use your steempower, which is a reward for participating in the community and helping the network (and by extension community). You pay for SteemPOwer from your own pocket, by either buying steem or by using your time to participate here.
Yes, everybody has a voting option, and the power of his vote is proportional to how much did the community find him useful. Then if everybody has a say in how the cake is shared why do you protest when people decide something you don't like? You have to understand that giving people the power to decide how to split the reward you accept an outcome that is not to your benefit.
Now, you are saying that "the community does not like haejin", then who is voting for him? Are you aware that by writing this you are creating difference between "the real steeminas" and "that scum that votes for haejin". How is this positive for "the community"? And they are not buying it, the closes metaphor is that there is a community that lives in a area, and they agree that by voting they will decide how the area is split between them. They are not paying for anything, just risking that they will get a lot less than they find "just".
Not an argument. "If you want to pay somebody that writes shitty poems, takes bad photographs or (insert something) then pay him from your own pocket, not the reward pool.
The problem here is that some parts of steemians feel that the reward pool is their, but in fact it is not. It is the systems until the system decide (based on the rules) who gets what.
But you are still not paying in steem power. Steem power is just your influence in how the community spends the reward pool. It is designed with the idea that the community could govern itself. Which is kind of what's happening.
Nope. Not saying that at all. I'm saying people that downvote haejin have equal right to those that upvote haejin. Everybody is part of the community. Downvoting is part of the system to valuate worth of a post.
Ok. What I meant to say is if you feel he is not getting paid what he is worth, and if you don't want anybody to have any say in it, pay out of your own money. you argue that
Steemit is not the free market. It is closer to a gift economy, but probably not even that. It's something different altogether. If it is not an argument that you have to pay from your own pocket, then it is not an argument that people should be able to sell their talents.
If the community doesn't like shitty poem and pictures, they have the option to downvote them. It's always there. It has been since the beginning.
Yeah, flags and all. This is how it works! Since I never use the trending tab, it never affects me ;p
