he’s the reason we have downvotes and 50% curation rewards instead of 10-20%. It probably ended up being a good thing for the ecosystem but it was a huge mess that caused many many people to leave.

He used to upvote himself twice a day with a massive stake.

He invested a lot into the token but more than that, he did a favor for a whale and the whale followed him on a trail before either dying or losing their password. And so in the end he was earning a massive percent of the rewards pool.

Gotta give it to him for being shameless enough to do that but it could have easily destroyed the entire ecosystem and so we were forced to make downvotes to deincentivize self voting and 50% curation to encourage curating other users
