Recently, someone that goes by 
Hive account@berniesanders decided 
Hive account@haejin had too much reward (apparently a considerable percentage of Steemit... like 7%) and that, according to this person is unacceptable. So he (uses a man name) put a lot of effort to downvote Hive account@haejin, as you can read here:
https://steemit.com/steem/@berniesanders/join-me-in-flagging-haejin-46k-in-abuse-rewards
Quoting 
Hive account@bernisanders:
"Flags are intended to balance ridiculous upvotes"
Which is pretty much the contrary of what is stated here:
https://steemit.com/steemit-howto/@cyrano.witness/about-downvoting
Where it says you flag irrelevant content!
Now, Hive account@haejin is an expert trading technical analyst, who posts some free analysis why valuable educational content for everyone to see. And a lot of people has made a LOT of money from reading his posts... I've made a pretty penny... but didn't have much to start with, so although I've doubled it already, is not a lot of money... yet.
Three things here:
- This posts are relevant to many people... like 6034 judging by his followers
- It is likely that someone made A LOOOOOOOOOOOOT of money... bought Steem and rewarded Hive account@haejin, which seems to be what triggered this very "crisis".
- Following the above logic, I know lot of people buys Steem to reward Hive account@haejin after profiting from his advice... probably helping driving the price up!
In any case, and this is the important thing here: there are 5000 followers backing Hive account@haejin, and that is clearly a lot more people than the ones downvoting him. That is the whole point of Steemit!
