So Here's what happened. I comment a funny picture on someones post. Here's the picture..
Turns out this someone is a user by the name of @haejin . I don't know who he is. I did not upvote the post. I don't follow this person. I just thought it was funny and went with his post's trend. Next thing I know the comment gets flagged. I have never been flagged and have had Steemit for less than a month. I'm new. I worked hard for my 29 point reputation and was super proud of it. So I go to my comments to see what happened and why.
Turns out @berniesanders has a private war going on with @haejin . After looking into both of their blogs I finally figured out what's going on. Turns out @haejin is a scammer who is taking money out of the reward pool here. @berniesanders is trying to take him down. I can dig that. (If he is a Scammer, again I don't know him.) What I can't dig is raping noobs who have no idea what's going on around here. DO NOT COMMENT ANYTHING ON @haejin 's POSTS! You will get flagged by multiple bots and will lose substantial reputation. I was at 29.8 rep and now I'm at 27.1 reputation. That, no joke, just ruined my night. I'm crushed. I thought @steemit was a cool place to share and post decent content. Not a place where you could get caught in a war. @berniesanders Why not flag the accounts that upvote him? Or flag all the people who follow him? Or is it just easier to turn your bots on and take out his 'supporters'? Also @berniesanders you spelled 'victims' wrong. When someone is a 'Scammer' the people who get taken in by him or support him are called 'victims' not supporters. Here's the comment his 'bot' left as @berniesanders has not responded and I don't expect him too. Giants stepping on us ants seldom stop to apologize for those they crush much less respond back when challenged. So I won't hold my breath waiting on a response back.
If you can't read what his 'bot' said in the picture here it is word for word...
"If you are receiving this message, you have been flagged for responding to a known scammy piece of shit. Enjoy your dwindling rep. Here is how @haejin supports the community."
So me posting a picture on @haejin 's post I get attacked by @berniesanders bots. Check it out...
13 bots flagged my picture. 13 Just for a picture. Guys don't be like me. Don't get caught in the middle of this like I did and others have too. I thought Steemit was supposed to be this great place. I'm not so sure anymore. I'm not mad that @berniesanders is trying to take down @haejin if he is a scammer. Good for him. Just keep us noobs out of it. It's hard enough just to get your content seen without getting caught in a war between two giants. Thanks for reading, you don't have to upvote, just let any friends you introduce to steemit know what's going on because no one told me and I had to find out the hard way...
Have a good night guys.
