RE: RIPPLE (XRP) Expected to Tailgate Bitcoin
Can some please explain to me what is going on in here. I come to watch video & read comments & now they are GREY. Is steemit broken? I don't know how everything works yet because I am just new here. HAejin TY for another great post.
There are groups of people on this platform who think they should determine how much value a post should have. So if someone is more successful than they think they should be they start downvoting to take the rewards away. Rather than focusing on scammers, plagiarisers, or spammers, these people try to take on the steemit success stories.
If you find haejins blog valuable, please keep upvoting and commenting.
Not true. These same people could upvote themselves with this power. Giving them the same amount of money haejin is taking. They chose not to. The whale who upvotes himself 10 times a day is the bad whale. The one who downvotes him because he upvotes is obviously not in it for the profit
Haejin started upvoting himself to counter the downvotes. This did not begin with @haejin upvoting himself. It began with grumpycat flagging @haejin because ranchorelaxo started supporting him.
Look at my comment. Basically people were mad haejin was upvoting himself 90% of the time and taking 5000$ it more every day. They tried to be reasonable and ask him to be more reasonable. He decided not to and now this is the culmination of what might be called the first Steemit mmorpg. Where other whales instead of upvoting themselves and stealing money, are wasting their power to downvotes him so he doesn't get to steal quite as much. Me and you for posting in this comment section could become casualties of war and lose a lot of your reputation (the number next to your name) just for commenting in these posts. Me by haejin and his followers, you by the people who downvotes the other comments and haejin's post this far.
So if you like haejin, then by all means upvote him. At least look into why others don't just so you are informed.. but maybe stay away from commenting on his posts for a bit
I've been here months before the first flag. I've seen how this developed.
Don't threaten me. I could give a shit if you gang of deplorables start downvoting me. I've already been through this before.
That was in no way a threat. Are you a social justice warrior or what. I suggested something. I'm not going to downvote you. I have downvoted 0 comments here. I never threatened at all. Defensive much? Having a debate is not a threat. If it is to you, then that would explain some things.
