@berniesanders contributes nothing to Steemit - check his posting history it's entirely resteems (including this article) and mostly bitching about @Haejin.
Haejin became popular organically and only receives a significant % of the reward pool because people upvote his OC. His TA is sometimes off the mark? He posts individually for each crypto? Boo hoo irrelevant - people choose to upvote him.
@berniesanders, on the other hand, is a blatant parasite who is furious that his previously unchallenged gaming of the system is no longer putting as much money in his pockets.
Haejin's popularity has virtually nothing to do with this controversy. His continuous exploitation of the reward pool through the use of proxy voting by Rancho does. Nobody cares about your vote for haejin nor do they care about nearly any other vote for haejin except for rancho. It constitutes voting abuse and that has nothing to do with anything Bernie does. Bernie's reaction is just that, a reaction. haejin has the power to stop this and chooses not to even after hearing from members of the community besides Bernie.
You're wrong about that. In fact, it's putting more money in his pockets. So much, in fact, that he couldn't keep up with the demand for his services anymore.
