There's only one person getting paid in this scenario and I'm not fighting anyone. I am bringing the truth about this person to light. So far he's been paid for what could be considered a libelous post about one woman and now paid again for basically pushing the blame onto his victim of his latest derogatory tirade at another woman.

The sad thing is, there was no reason for any of it. He just decided to use one woman to paint a picture of drama to increase the frenzy in the hive mind he's surrounded himself with online, while apparently attempting to tarnish her reputation.

Then he went full throttle sociopath on another woman for missing an alleged meeting while making wild claims about signups and viewers, and about how upset he is over $1,000 while claiming to be a multi-millionaire who donated $20 million to charity.

People vote how they want. In these cases that would be irrationally and poorly IMHO. So it's not about the money he's received. It's about how this person is treating other human beings and it's about, as you mention, the other people on Steemit that do good for others and receive little to no upvotes/rewards.

If this is the type of people Steemit wants to reward with thousands of dollars, versus a person feeding needy people or anyone else doing good or posting original content on Steemit, so be it. The platform will crash as fast as this guys moral compass and ultimately, that's what it deserved for selecting people like this as their upvotes benefactors over more deserving human beings.

What content exactly is this post that's now receiving over $1,000? Here's a summary ...

"I'm a multi-millionaire out $1,000 that cursed out a woman horribly for not showing up for an appointment, but she went and did an interview with someone else. Please forgive me, but not her."

Yep, completely deserves $1,000. That's some "original content" right there that really helps humanity as a whole. Or maybe the voters are giving a multi-millionaire his $1,000 back that he hasn't proven he's actually out. That's also some choice voting right there!

So take that as a big "screw you quinneaker for feeding homeless people!" and anyone else that's actually posting anything worthwhile. And @quinneaker ...

You would make more here slapping an old lady around, uploading a video of it and blaming Grandma for making you hit her because she stepped on your brand new Nike's.

But be sure you follow up that video post with an apology indicating how many Youtube hits your video got with the Steemit logo in it and be sure to throw in some fanciful numbers about how many signups you would have brought here, if not for Grandma bleeding in the video ... because that's another grand for you baby!

Edit : Upvoting my comment because fyrstikkens' going around flagging anyone bringing attention to his actions.
