RE: #flagthedonkey - let's make it trend!!!
What did @haejin do wrong exactly? Completely out of the loop since I'm still new. At the surface, it looks like he's just using Steemit as efficiently as possible, or not?
Don't flag me please, I'm just doing my own thing here, but I got curious.
In addition to what @hitmeasap said, the steem system is built on the idea that the community can correct misvalued posts. All of haejin's posts are potentially misvalued because the vast majority of the rewards come from two people. here's what the Steem whitepaper says about it. Keep in mind that this was written long before haejin got here.
So it's shitty, but still kind of acceptable for him to upvote himself, but he should expect corrections from the community due to the added exposure he has garnered. Those corrections come in the form of downvotes. When haejin was downvoted, he lashed out and used his and Ranchorelaxo's SP to flag anybody that disagreed with him. This included charities and poker games. that is why he is so hated.
Haejin will tell you it was all lies and that he was defending himself. He will tell you that his followers were attacked, this is true. Not really something that I agreed with, but it happened and to some extent still is, I believe.
Thanks for the explanation on downvotes, it was something I hadn't really looked into yet. My initial understanding was that it's meant for spam and plagiarized content. Hadn't even clicked on the button yet.
Is that also the general public perception of downvotes? I'd assume most people would see it as some sort of personal attack, which it also could be in some cases.
It's well known among active members, but a lot of people take it as a personal attack. It really should be separate from a flag when it is just because of disagreement on rewards.
Lol... you joined July 2016 ...how exactly are you new here ?
I've only been active for a month, I had forgotten that I had made this account back then.
Wow so you actually came early but you missed the bus ... I feel so sorry for you
I don't really mind, I love a challenge ;-)
He could have been a whale by now, but kudos for actually remembering your password after all this time lol !!
Yeah exactly !!
Back then, I wouldn't even have known what to write about... I just came back because I wanted to start writing and sharing interesting stuff.
Actually joined in the month Steemit was officially launched, thinking I might have some use for the account later.
Turned out to be much later, better late than never :P
