i don't understand how people are abusing the steemit system

The only abuse is by Bernie Sanders

and yet you ignore that 90% of his commenters are the same people, and they make the same pointless comments repeatedly. not sure i was on board with bernie, but it appears he is pointing out a true problem.

But isn't that more an issue with social media. It seems what happens on Twitter happens on Steemit, and the same on Reddit. It's just this has a financial feedback component.
It seems like his is popular with a specific group of people.
We could accuse Kim Kardashian of the same thing on Twitter

indeed, if a popularity contest is what we wanted, that is what we have. in the end it becomes up to the users, and if they are idiots, then we will have idiotic content.

Very few things on the Web end up as they were originally envisaged. The crowd has a tendency to grab it and run down the road, laughing maniacally.
Human beings do not behave rationally.

put 100,000 dollars in the system. then upvote all your friends posts. rinse, repeat.

it becomes obvious when that is all they do.

i call it a circle jerk, I've seen it other places as well.

I've argued with the globe earthers. there is another circle jerk, a group of people that only argue against the flat earth. It is very frustrating to have honest conversation when you have a group organized against it.

it only becomes obvious when you get into contentious topics.

so there are two types, those with an agenda to block conversation. and those that are just upvoting their friends posts regardless of content quality.

HE is set to gain another 1000 voters in just over a week. Boy he has a lot of friends!

his peon friends aren't an issue, if they just follow and circle jerk him, that would only amount to like $5 dollars per post. seems clear he is abusing the system.

And where in this beautiful mind of Yours is place for a real success. Someone that really, thanks only to his work, attract people and because of this earns money. At the end of the day Steemit was built for it.

It seems You don't even believe it's possible, so You try to quash every success, putting it without any real research to the same bag labeled "scam".

In the long run, when this kind behaviour win, the only active group that stays in play are those self proclaimed sheriffs.

It doesn't matter what we say. You have a pattern. Big earner + content You perceive as not good + the earner is not You = scam. Everything You see, even us defending Haejin, fits right into this pattern. I wish You more reflection for the next year.

you are right. i am walking away. i am sorry.

i'll never follow this berniesanders again.
