Yep, but the community said no, and we worked together to take him down a few notches. Hopefully this will prevent any one else from having the same idea.

how he can have so much power?
did he invest a lot of money?

how the war started?, can you explain to me?, because after reading a lot of things between the two of them, i don't know who is right and who is wrong

Carry on reading

Yeah, you need to read around for full detail. It's all on the blockchain. The gist of the story is:

He brought in a powerful account to upvote his posts daily, 10 times a day, for over $200 from him and his "buddy" alone.

Stats collected by @paulag showed that he was getting between 1.0%-1.5% of the reward pool, without counting in the @ranchorelaxo curation rewards. If more whales did what he did, the platform would not be sustainable.

In truths, other whales should have acted a while ago, but it didn't hit the breaking point until now.

Just so you know, self-vote, bid bot, etc. are not fundamentally bad. But, there is a point where they can be abusive when done excessively, especially for sub-par contents.

hmmm, so the starting point is he upvoted his post 10 times per day, and earn $200 without doing anything else.
hmmm i am understand now, but how this can be end?, because in the blockchain, there is no rules except for withnesses
HF 19 give permissions for that action.
But if all the whales continue to do that, hahaha Steemit will be destroyed :D
But again, Haejin uses his own money to buy some SP, maybe its not his fault too, because if i become him, i will do that too.

inother side, the actions (voting himself) everyday, with that "insane" amount, is not wise and maybe stupid, because many minnows like me need his help.

but again, if upvote robot join the war, its not wise too...

hmmm i am confuse starting here, how this war can be end, if two sides always defend their ego?,,,,

how about your view bro?

But again, Haejin uses his own money to buy some SP, maybe its not his fault too, because if i become him, i will do that too.

In all seriousness, if I had his SP, I would have either do what @freedom does, sell my votes by delegate to bots or use my SP to build a platform of a specific niche, like @curie.

Self-voting 10 times a day for $200+ is just greedy and shows signs of short-term cash grab.
