I think it's safe to say that @haejin owns the Steemit platform now. As Haejin continues to post upwards of 9+ charts per day for various cryptocurrencies and raping the reward pool through his successful use of demonic Steem bots, it's clear we aren't swimming in clean waters anymore.
While @haejin swims in his shark-free resort quality pool, the rest of us are swimming in shark invested sewerage water, slowly dwindling in numbers are we starve to death fighting over the crumbs that fall from Haejin's mouth as he continues chewing into the Steem pie.
If it weren't for the crumbs falling out of Haejin's mouth (thank goodness he chews with his mouth open), this place would definitely be in a worse position than it currently is. You can only live on crumbs for so long.
I am not to say whether Haejin is a good or bad person, I don't know him. I think a man should be measured by his actions. So, let's quickly measure some of his actions.
The fact he gives nothing back to the platform that has helped him ascend into the top 1% and abuse his power by flagging people for seemingly invalid reasons, I would argue his greed and abuse is a measurable action that concludes he is not a good person.
Close to two weeks ago Haejin ascended the heights of the Steem mountain and officially became too big to flag. Just like Goldman Sachs and other big financial institutions were responsible for causing the GFC in 2009, Haejin has undeniably become a risk for the Steem network.
Even though Haejin is in the middle of a flag war, spearheaded by the likes of @berniesanders and his trove of flagging accounts, it's impossible for lesser reputation accounts to do damage to higher reputation accounts.
So although there has been a concentrated flagging effort against Haejin, his reputation has increased by a few points. But his payouts have been negatively impacted.
Haejin is officially so powerful that people are scared to flag him because Haejin is so almighty and powerful that the fear of getting a flag from him would be devastating to a user. One flag from Haejin or his proxy accounts can have a negative impact.
Just like the US Government is scared of the big banks who are too big to jail and fail, Haejin has now become a big bank who is too big to jail or fail. Although, admittedly I have seen claims of tax evasion levelled at Haejin, who knows if they're valid.
Having said all of this, I hereby propose that Steemit is renamed to Haejinit. Why? Because he already owns the platform.
