I don't see any problem with Bernies upvoted comments or trending posts regarding the reward pool, because he uses his rewards mostly for countering highly paid bs posts. With that in mind, he is doing a wonderful job for the whole steem world. And as he stated, he paid a huge amount of SBD for getting the attention of other whales.
We all should try to see the whole picture. Maybe Haejin is a good technical analyst, but why should an account of an already well paid man take a huge part of the rewards out of the pool, which actually is intended to be for all of us? Should the minnows really deserve less rewards, because of the good work of one person?
The incorrectly calculated percentage of 6% on steem.supply brought me to implementing it to the steemworld so that we can see the real values from now on. I'm thinking about adding some kind of "reward pool rape index" at the top for each account so that we are able to detect such cases in an easier way.
But I think the 1% makes no difference, because it tells us the same story. Someone takes a huge amount of the available rewards by creating many posts on a daily basis. This fact shows me that it can't have taken so much time to create them. Some of us work for days or even weeks for making one post that then ends in a $100 payout. Maybe we really need kind of a post limit again...
Anyway, great job @berniesanders! As soon as I find time for it, I will add some "extras" in my tool for better detecting this kind of accounts in the future ;)
Yeah, I always laugh deeply when I see his wonderful comments. He's one of the best comedians that we have here... ^^ Maybe we should make a "Best of Bernies Wordings" compilation :)
He may sound a bit rough for some people, but in most cases there is really a truth to discover in his words...
Ah, so now @berniesanders set up an army of bots, to attack everyone who disagrees with him. What a cute little troll he is. I was about to leave, but not anymore. I refuse to allow a depressed and disgruntled brat making me leave.
Protecting the platform? No, he's not. @berniesanders is turning SteemIt into 4Chan.
This user made an incredible post about it, without ever sinking down to their level. They attacked that, as well, thus proving they are not interested in contributing to this community, but only in tearing it apart:
And they claim to be protecting the platform. What a joke. They're destroying SteemIt out of spite.
The list of users they're attacking out of spite and jealously is bigger than the phone book. And of course, you already know about @haejin, the original victim. The rest of us are being attacked merely for defending his work on this platform. That how low these babies sank.
This looks really odd to me (all from the top of the trending page):
As I have seen in his youtube videos, he uses my tools, but I have never received an upvote from him. Why, when he begs for upvotes at the end of each video with the reason that hard work should deserve votes?
My german post for introducing my new tool (steemworld) is at $192 and it took me months to develope it. I'm not complaining about my rewards but I think it's an interesting comparison...
Same here dude, working hard on developing tools for Steem and im lucky that i have the backing of a couple of people who have some contacts. Still, im only getting in the range of tens of dollars per post for stuff that im spending hours working on.
This is not a good news for Steem. Whales got no balls in addressing this ridiculous reward harvesting. It's only @berniesanders pursuing this and the rest are sleeping pussies, see no evil, hear no evil. WTF
I am begging for this index to be published - please make it available immediately. This is a project for utopianio.
I'm in awe of the idea that a heavy hitter with fans would be treated like this.
The guy's a hit!
He's pretty darn accurate!
He's doing a great job posting, commenting, interacting, and teaching!
He brought rich fans!
"Let's kill him." says steemit.
This place is a never ending amusement park of insanity. Now that you have all played with the big kids today, please go comment on 3 posts of authors between 35-45 rep. You do not even have to upvote them. Just make a comment so they don't think they are posting into a black hole.
This small, generous action on your part will improve the place more than anything else you can do today.
Remember that we get less than 3 comments per post and so many are very lonely. Comment to little guys daily, and we might have less than 97% of them die off right when things are getting good.
Such index would be nice to have, but its calculation should be very well thought through. A percentage alone can not tell the whole story for all people. As you've mentioned, the possibility exists that it's a rich person who brought a super huge stake. I don't want to kill famous people on steemit just because they are famous, but the fame should be shared within the whole steem world and it may be difficult to take care of it without manual work...
"Let's kill him." says steemit.
"Let's adjust the rewards a bit" would sound better to me.
"Some of us work for days or even weeks for making one post that then ends in a $100 payout." If only time spent creating a product actually mattered to the end user.
There is a reason why this post has received much up-votes from the community. It is basically a way for the Steemians to be aware of the current systemic rape going on by a profit maniac investor. If the Steem blockchain has a vagina, it must have been swollen to the max by now.
I'm gonna tell you something because you seem to be a newcomer. Bots won't work unless you pay the bots in terms of Steem or SBD.
Meaning, it will only up-vote your post when you pay for the service. I have tried using it a few times and was disappointed at the end when I calculated my earnings due to several factors that you need to put into consideration.
You still have a lot of explorations to do. I am more tolerant of bot buying than raping the reward pool by the same person every hour every minute posting technical garbage. You seem to be easily convinced by pseudoscientific nonsense. I suspect, you are much more vulnerable to religious indoctrination as well.
I'm afraid berniesanders won. I've already sent a request to get my STEEM POWER back... and I'll be on my way.
You can keep your version of 4Chan. I ain't interested in being part of a community that values bullying, trolling and despicable behaviour like this.
I'll use the platform just to follow @haejin, as a voyeur, meaning, I won't be logging in or voting anymore. As soon as my money is out, I'll be out the door, too.
I ain't interested in being part of a community that values bullying, trolling and despicable behavior like this.
But you embrace one person sucking the reward money every hour of the day which is supposed to be intended for curation rewards for well written, good quality content?
Most of the money for this post were all paid for by Bernie him self, it COST him a lot to make this post and he made it to bring attention to something.
We can all agree or disagree and that is our right/choice, yet he did NOT make the money on this post, he paid for it to bring attention to something he felt was important.
Well agree or disagree as I said he put up the money and is not making money on the post. Also this is not reddit its Steemit so only makes sense to bring exposure to the platform in question.
There are plenty of things that happen here that I disagree with but that doesnt mean that they are morons because I disagree.
I also dont feel that calling people names even if they do something distasteful helps anything either.
If Bernie invested a thousand dollars to insult others, he's a moron. 4Chan and Reddit let him do it for free.
Your line of argument only shows how twisted your state of mind is. Why on earth would @berniesanders use Reddit when his stake/investment is on Steem? Try to clear your mind and think properly, you're dumbass AF.
Investment? How is it an investment if he's using thousands of dollars to destroy the platform by insulting and bullying everyone who doesn't act like a bully? Or that simply doesn't agree with him?
Now go suck your father's cock. Will ya!? <-- Apparently, this is what you shitheads value the most in the platform. So enjoy it, you mutilated dick.

Great job, indeed! bernie's contribution is awesome... but he made a mistake, this is not 4Chan:
Yeah, I always laugh deeply when I see his wonderful comments. He's one of the best comedians that we have here... ^^ Maybe we should make a "Best of Bernies Wordings" compilation :)
He may sound a bit rough for some people, but in most cases there is really a truth to discover in his words...
There is an entire article about this topic that lays out the points form both camps here https://steemit.com/steem/@pawsdog/the-reward-pool-rape-saga-between-berniesanders-and-haejin give it a read, it may be a good place for the adults to talk without all the mudslinging and other silliness.

If I upvote this does it mean I agree with bernie on this screen cast, cause there is a lot of shilling going on

Yes, the reason is there are a lot of kindergarten bullies, following the bully master out of fear. Also, a lot of bots.

Nice argument you have.
@haejin's content is not good, it's phenomenally great!
I know, I know, you'd rather see "good" content like this:

That's the most phenomenal joke I've read so far.
Yeah, well, like, opinions are like assholes, man...and other such stuff...
that is not how bots work, mate...
What do want?
bitches and coke!
research the term sockpuppet, that is what most bots actually are: automated sockpuppets.
Just because you can use some as boosters does not mean bot = booster.
Oh man, don't get me started into linguistic obfuscation. I am a die hard Wittgensteinian. It won't work.
agree with you

who is this bully? BERNIE. Steemit need content to help get more people to see it and want to get on board. BERNIE you are adding Zero to Steemit.
IT'S YOU THAT SHOULD GO.
