Like most of you I'm still fairly new to Steemit, but been around long enough and lurked in the shadows to get a hang of the platform and see how it flows.
I've seen some people who I believe deserve a lot more up votes get nothing in return.
I've seen others who I don't understand why people upvote their post get paid great $$$
I'm always a little bit miffed about what is really upvoted, but it comes with the territory and it "is what it is" IMO.
Then comes a user named @Haejin which really needs no introduction.
I started following Haejin back during late September/Early October before "he became crazy famous" or so I'd like to think lol.
That was when his payout was around $2.22 <--- much different than today.
I honestly don't remember how I found him, but I started to see that his calls where actually decent. Â I mean all you care is to be more right than wrong and you'll probably make decent returns!
Then out of the blue one day recently I see drama going down...ugh.
I don't get it I said to myself - anyone who has followed him long enough has probably made money off his calls so wtf would someone be mad about?
Too much money being paid out to him? Â Ok....at this point is legitimately confused.
I've seen users consistently get paid $1o0, $200 even up to $400 on a single post!
So what's the difference here?
Well to play devils advocate you could say he posts sometimes up to 10 times per day where others only post maybe up to 3. Â But either way what is the difference between the two users?
At the end of the day I'm still highly confused why everyone is all up in arms about this situation and being 100% serious I'd love some clarification.
I plan on staying on steemit for a long time and wish to see it grow to be a great community so I want to be "in the know" when it comes to controversial things.
Am I being ignorant in not understanding why people are mad at him for getting paid the money he gets?
I understand there will always be people on both sides of the coin. (See what I did there) Â Some people believe there shouldn't even be billionaires in this world where others don't care.
This is life as we know it and not everyone will agree. Â Totally understood. Â But really...why do I feel like one guy posting Elliott Wave Analysis has single handedly - somehow - caused a massive Flag War?!
He's not even posting something controversial by nature. Â Either his calls are pure crap or they're decent...like you can literally go back and see if they were good or not. Â That's it!
For sake of going past the basics - if I were Haejin I would have just made one post and said guys here is what is happening and if you want to support me please do because I want to make $$$ and help others out at the same time and would have just left it at that.
I think emotions got involved too much at some point and it's rekindled the fire at points when maybe it didn't need to be. Â But either way, he still posts TA on crypto....like how much more basic can you get?
You now have people like @BernieSanders and 
I've seen nobody yet call them out and say why are you collecting so much upvote $$$ from your bashing on the situation. Â
I personally don't care if they get paid good $$$ or not on this controversy because I believe in letting it be free!
I mean isn't that why were are all kind of here? Â As little censorship as possible with the ability to make money while posting stuff that we would have just posted to Facebook anyways without the payout!?
I mean again though what is the difference say between 
I'm not talking about content, but payout potentials. (obviously kings is posting more news based)
Not bashing either one of them because I personally like both and follow both and don't care how much they do or don't get paid.
I just can't figure out why there is such a HUGE uproar.
Please - Seriously - Someone explain to me what I'm missing and why this is such a huge ordeal so I can too join the resistance or stay put where I am.
Here's to possibly having someone misunderstand this post and causing drama for myself  😡  😡  😡Â
