I'm not sure. It was instantly flagged by @iflagtrash I've been hit several times this week by him. I think it's a robot and I'm on a list. This isn't the only one I've been flagged several times by different robots. It's been going around. Others have been having the same issue as well
I can clearly see I made someone's robots flagging list. Don't want to drag anyone else down with me. I have noticed it's been going around the steemit community hopefully the site administrator can do something about it
I'd take @dwinblood's advice. Some people are really anal about sharing other peoples work on here. Add a little more of your own commentary so you can claim the Fair Use Act.
If you watch the videos I post most if not all o the reporters verbally say to share there content on social media and other. All the content I share does fall under fair use I don't think I'm copywriting or taking credit for any of the hard work these reporters are doing. I'm just trying to get the word out. The mainstream stream media has been lying to us for so long and it's media networks like the ones I post that are trying to get out the truth. All I'm doing is helping there cause. It's amazing how much mis-information is put out there by the mainstream media all I'm trying to do is bring out the real story behind the propaganda so others can see it for what it is. For to long I was a sheep and knew that something was wrong with what I was presented. This is my way of bringing truth you those who are like me. Seeing thing for what they are not what I'm told to see thing they way they want it. Keep in mind all I'm sharing is the news.
That doesn't matter to the Steemit Nazis. They will claim you are not providing any new information to the platform. I've personally had run-ins with a few whales over this topic. They have a different view on how this platform should be run and can force users to conform to their standards with threats of down voting. That's probably not the case here but just and FYI to you.
I'm not going to let it get to me. I'm not in it for the money as you can see I don't make much. I like to share the content with people it's nice to know that you guys are still getting the content.
I did what I can, but iflagtrash is more powerful than I am.
EDIT: They are transferring steem in from poloniex and powering up the account. They are also smart and have no posts, no replies, no comments... e.g. the same tactic asshole used, so no one can down vote them. Their reputation will likely remain at 25, but their power will continue to increase. They are UNLIKE asshole appearing to up vote more than they down vote and thus, also benefitting from the curation algorithm. They are not powerful enough YET to out vote a lot of people, but they can some. The people that can up vote more than them will typically not up vote a shared video with very little said. Unless you made the video.
No I don't think so. Asshole was down vote only. This person seems to be up voting a lot of stuff too. They also powered up the account quite a bit. When I looked last night it was at 99,000 steem power.
They mostly seemed to be up voting things. Iflagtrash though does tell you kind of what the account is intended for. Yet, the problem is trash is subjective. There is the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure". That is just a platitude though and is not proof of anything.
The only thing I personally see as truly TRASH that has no worth is spam, plagiarism, and abuse. There are plenty of topics and things I have no interest in and some that I actually dislike a great deal. Yet other people do find value in those things. So I simply do what I do anytime I walk into a store of any kind. I buy the stuff I want, and I ignore the stuff I don't. Pretty simple.
Yet in the digital age some people seem to get a great sense of "satisfaction" in being able to actually walk into a store and put a big X on the things they don't like, and if possible pull them off the shelf.
I've been flagged by @asshole as well. It's possible. Looks like someone is playing with some new software and I'm on the list. Who knows what the motivation could be. I mostly comment on the news and post news reports. Either way I'm not the only one these guys seem to be blanket flagging a lot of people.
Maybe downvoting is done by bot, and upvotes are done manually? I don't know, really. I've been flagged by @ asshole once, on a comment; and I think a time or two by @ iflagtrash.
EDIT: I think i may have been upvoted by iflagtrash a couple times as well, however.
I'm with you @dwinblood on your view of true trash. I don't necessarily enjoy some subjects, nor agree with some others' comments or articles, but I don't see them as trash.
You may need to change your approach and see if it still gets flagged.
Instead of sharing videos and not saying much, make a post that is kind of like a news hour and consolidate your videos into larger posts, with interesting text written by you as companion pieces to the videos. Then it is also more of your own content instead of you just posting stuff you find.
They might not flag that and you might also get some larger up votes.
It's ok I'm hopeful that the site administrator will see what's happening and do something about it. Only time can tell. Again thank you for your support
What's up with the flagging on your post?

That sucks, I'll do what I can to help but you should write a post to the Steemit community asking for help.

iflagtrash is going nuts on all electrowarrior posts today. Harassment.
I'm not going to let it get to me. I'm not in it for the money as you can see I don't make much. I like to share the content with people it's nice to know that you guys are still getting the content.
I don't have much in the way of vote power to contribute, but I do enjoy your posts. Thank you.
Thank you for your support.

So, is this @ asshole 2.0, perhaps?
No I don't think so. Asshole was down vote only. This person seems to be up voting a lot of stuff too. They also powered up the account quite a bit. When I looked last night it was at 99,000 steem power.

It's a power trip.

That's the only constructive idea I can offer.

Upvoted and Re-Steemed to counter @iflagtrash's abusive behavior. I don't see any reason for flagging in the posts that he's flagged.
Thank you for your support. It's appreciated
