In Defense of Haejin
I've been around Steemit for a relatively long while, check my account.
I've never been as successful as @Haejin, however you want to define "successful".
I have had a lot of fun, felt a lot of discontent, and even jealousy.
For all the valid reasons people have for calling @Haejin out, I have to say, this wealth of posts targeting him feels a lot like High School.
For every legitimate criticism I see 10x as many sour grapes.
Haejin is GOOD for steemit, his most adamant opponents and biggest haters need to see that.
He is shining a spotlight on a lot of areas of improvement. He's also showing exploits and inequalities. He's showing something else... a market.
Whether he has 10,000 subscribers or 5,000, or 500, it's still a large amount for a relatively small niche. Get your heads out of the now and imagine a day when steemit.com has as much traffic and user accounts as Reddit.
We desperately need people like @Haejin to not only be the kind of cult of personality that draws in users but even more importantly to illustrate flaws in the platform.
I don't know this guy, and other than the flood of posts about him on "trending" I didn't notice him before today. After investigating this silly drama I just have to shake my head.
Please, everyone, objectively look at my words. Objectively look at the platform. Take a step back and look at the big picture. Let's make steemit the best it can be so when STEEM is $800 or $8,000 or $80,000 we have a solid, mature base for it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Feel free to comment, critique or criticize. I'll try to answer all replies.

Thank you so much my Friend! Front end display issue. When I go into my wallet it shows my rep a 25 and I have no image! It is happening to many People!
