I think what you don't realize is the fact anyone who knows how to trade cryptocurrencies can use Steemit to help others and make money too. But they either are not bothering, haven't taken the time to build a following or they are not providing a good value to their followers.

The majority of us that follow Hive account@haejin are making money (off steemit). I have seen my crypto portfolio value triple in 2 months and it is 100% because of Hive account@haejin.

To make it worse, the original person that started attacking Hive account@haejin was showing an image that reported showed Hive account@haejin was earnings come ridiculous percentage of the entire reward pool. Once it was found that the image was wrong (not saying it was fake, only that the website it came from has admitted it was wrong) and we started sharing that info, trying to stop all of this, the attacks picked up and became even worse.

If Hive account@haejin was writing posts daily about something other than Crypto and the followers were upvoting him for it, would you still be as upset?

Any topic that becomes HOT and a person is providing good solid information for their followers could become a regular in the trending category.

Not a single person has suggested Hive account@haejin is using bots to increase his earnings. No one has said he is running multiple accounts transferring his earnings to them so he can feed a team of bots to increase his earnings. In other words, his earnings are coming from the people he is helping.

But how many of the people that are downing him are doing these exact things. Running bots, upvoting themselves and so much more.

Steemit and all the little people are the ones getting hurt here. I lost 4 people that were thinking about joining, all because of this attacking. It is time for it to end.
