I just started to spend some serious time on Steemit and almost immediately I encounter this flagging problem. It seems as if this is a big flaw in Steemit. Sorry if this comment is slightly off topic because I'm not speaking about bots in particular but just the flagging system. Here is an example:

"malekalmsaddi troll abuse and flawed steemit system"

My general impression of what's going on here on Steemit is that the big players are just obsessed with how to make money out of the system. At first I thought it was probably just a phase, but now I really start to wonder if there are flaws in the system that could prevent it from really going mainstream.
