Agreed! This is the best battle I use when taking about the site. It's an ongoing soap opera! I'm eating popcorn as we speak! Also, I'm still not sure what my thoughts are on it. I see from both angles and can safely say, "only on steemit!" Boom!!
Upvoted with the hope that @ned will see this one, it is really good. PS: all the credits go to @son-of-satire, if you want to upvote it, you can go to his post I have linked in the previous comment.
speaking of which, payouts are done and the most significant, risky and informative post I have ever made was nearly completely ignored by steemit for no stated reason, but im still going to post it here because everyone needs to know and be looking for the next parts of my series so I don't have to explain everything in the world at risk to myself for no reward whatsoever, again: https://steemit.com/freedom/@mindhawk/privacy-workshop-1
Where can you see that they generated this traffic @ned? They're top trending and we have thousand of people on this site. The view count just seems logical to me. Everybody clicked on this middle finger today just to know what it was about.
Honestly I hope people don't find Steemit that way... Love popcorn, too, but..
It doesn't matter who is winning & who is losing. For us ( minnow ) you both are same because it seems like none of you care about us. Have you ever looked at any minnow post & commented on his/her post. Winner are those people who wins hearts & not a fight.
Your fucking country is divided and you want to tell something about you are the one hiting some guy?
Maybe thats why you are a nice slave over there...
And believe every shit you get told.
The only thing you can do is draw random arrows! And cry.
Sometimes in your comments i can feel your naivety.
No. He can't. We must figure this out together as a community... @ned has no immediate power in this other than his through his upvote or downvote. However, since he wrote the whitepaper, I imagine he would rather sit back and see if his theories play out. So far, it has come pretty close to what was written though I would have imagined more whales would have joined by now. Maybe one day he will let us know his thoughts on this.
You are a really fun guy to party with aren't you?
BEER
Are you as good looking in person?
POT
Kidding, and doubting you'll actually read this
lol
It's strange but I used to get upset with what this type of thing made steemit look like to the public, but recently I have to disappoint my passionately moral friends, because it doesn't matter what it looks like if it generates interest, does it? Oh and, I just realized I don't think I ever cared what was on trending- I post chapters from my books and I'm killing it! How fucking awesome is that? Doing what I love and the money comes in? So thank you, even if you never read this lol, seriously thank you Ned, this is the best thing to happen to earth since electricity.
Well, it not entirely funny, as this diminishes the credibility of the platform. Potential Steem investors at the sidelines may wonder, where this will lead to. I am a relative newbie, but isn´t this a concern for the future success of Steem, as steemit is the no. 1 usage tool for Steem? Without the dynamics of Steem price getting higher, Steemit usage will not flourish as it could and should be.
Like all technology you can use it for "good" or for "bad" and if you abuse your power, you should be ready to face the consequences. Since I don't know what's going on here, I would like some clarification of this "situation".
It will only be a matter of time before someone richer comes along and silences them both..
In the interests of preserving the platform.
Just a matter of time.
It's true, but people fighting would be far less concerning to me as an investor than why they are fighting. Fighting is just a normal part of social media. If people were too happy and getting along about everything it would signal to me that no one was actually engaged in the platform, and that would be bad long term news. The real issue as an investor is whether or not your investment is going to immediately get devalued from someone draining the pot, and that is most certainly going on.
I don't know either of these high-rollers but I'm dying to find out what the back story is behind their beef... Someone needs to post a summary of what went down.
Welcome to Steemit. You don't have to like it. You don't have to even pick sides. We are trying to make it better for more people to get rewarded here. One person is getting lots of money from posting the same things over & over all day long.
He doesn't comment back to his followers. He just collects his money & post more things to collect more money from upvotes from his followers. Basically they are giving him their money for nothing in return.
No, I was just curious. If it is allowed, and people are doing it, what is the problem?
Very few people I have encountered on Steemit have been here for anything other than the money.
If you are here to get paid, why not get as much as you can, as fast as you can?
Seems like the only ones who are but-hurt about this are the ones who didn't take advantage of the same plan. At least, that is how it seems to me. If I am wrong, please explain how and why.
This is a validating comment. From my perspective, it’s incredible how much web traffic these two generate.
It's quite novel watching two internet millionaires duke it out so publicly while reading comments from both camps.

bruh
Really? Hey @ned, I wanted to ask you, have you seen this one:
Upvoted with the hope that @ned will see this one, it is really good. PS: all the credits go to @son-of-satire, if you want to upvote it, you can go to his post I have linked in the previous comment.

Its like never ending fight.
Guess who's the one with the red pants? BS!
:D
hahaha lol
I'm the one in the black shirt.

correct me if I am wrong
Hi @swpnl7, poor minnows need Steem Power and rich whales should take care of them.
yeah just write good post and not hate speech no one care about that
woo you too tough, good luck man
ya it looks like you are the one in the black one hahahahah thats how it looks
Your fucking country is divided and you want to tell something about you are the one hiting some guy?
Maybe thats why you are a nice slave over there...
And believe every shit you get told.
The only thing you can do is draw random arrows! And cry.
Sometimes in your comments i can feel your naivety.
@ned can you please tell who is right and who is wrong in between them to clear all steemians
No. He can't. We must figure this out together as a community... @ned has no immediate power in this other than his through his upvote or downvote. However, since he wrote the whitepaper, I imagine he would rather sit back and see if his theories play out.

This wacky dude in the Captin Philip movie
I laughed too hard at this!
i'm no more Zuckerberg, i am Ned now.
lmaooooooo funny
What's disturbing is the racist cartoons and comments towards us Koreans, go unmoderated.
Who ever told something about koreans? You are just here to reveal your true mind. "I am the victim. Help me. cry cry..."
Thats all you can do.
‘toward us koreans’? Don’t ever try mention about ‘korean’ things on your own business.
Think it worth it , don't you think so?
I know it is crazy that they get all of that traffic.
If only my post could get a piece of this action, instant whale LOL.
You are a really fun guy to party with aren't you?
BEER
Are you as good looking in person?
POT

Flag wars got me into Steemit, and they keep bringing me back.
Lol
Can someone recap the situation, what are they "fighting" about?
Well, it not entirely funny, as this diminishes the credibility of the platform. Potential Steem investors at the sidelines may wonder, where this will lead to.

Unfortunately for now, this is a money game and an influence game.
I don't see there ever being a real "winner."

well the first thing that needs to go is self voting, its beyond stupid.
true...
Both are good guys i like both just not sure what is the reason behind this
I don't know either of these high-rollers but I'm dying to find out what the back story is behind their beef... Someone needs to post a summary of what went down.
Omg no one dare to write any thing about them we are scare of flag from either side both are powerfull guys
Really makes the place feel alive.
It was the first stuff I seen trending when I joined. I was laughing so hard.
I just joined 1 minute ago. I don't know what's going on and I'm not sure if I like it.
Welcome to Steemit. You don't have to like it. You don't have to even pick sides. We are trying to make it better for more people to get rewarded here. One person is getting lots of money from posting the same things over & over all day long.
He doesn't comment back to his followers. He just collects his money & post more things to collect more money from upvotes from his followers. Basically they are giving him their money for nothing in return.
Can anybody do that?
You want to become a Reward Pool Rapist like Haejin?
No, I was just curious. If it is allowed, and people are doing it, what is the problem?
Very few people I have encountered on Steemit have been here for anything other than the money.

That moment when a comment has more upvotes than all your quality posts together... (cries in corner) hahha
Yeah daily entertainment...never ending!
