ned should be a nice guy, it's probably about rewards, seeing posts making constant 300-500 and others well less, that's why the flagging should be used, but there a lot of arguments on the topic for both sides, I for one just stopped voting fuzzy since well I can't follow the hangouts and the Whale shares contests are pretty much over at least the oes I can participate in, plus he was making enough in my mind as it was. And I'm still on the fence for whale shares, it's a bit gimicky, well better than randowhale for sure. Steemit is a mixed bunch, there are many people and if you let happenings get in the way of why you are here, then you will just pay attention to topics you don't want, probably It happened to me, I got caught up in the flagging and the issues of the platform, saw nobody cared so much and mostly got burned out of the bullshit :D
