RE: Even if you think flagging is wrong, sometimes, you can do good using it!
That happened to me too.
I'm not making much money here, ya know?
Not real money. I got flagged because one of my posts happened to get popular. This doesn't happen commonly, because I'm just a writer, not some celebrity. So I ended up not being able to buy a tomato that week. I mean, that's the level of difference here.
Either my salad has tomatoes, onion, and peppers.
Or it has onions and peppers, if someone decides to make my day a little more cloudy and sad.
@heretickitten I feel you and your right, but sometimes your salad is much tasty if you split it with other people you know? I respect your opinion and I think that someone will come up with a brilliant idea that will fix this kind of problems we have here.
Yes, if I choose to split it with someone, it is great.
When someone says "You don't deserve that entire salad. It needs to be reallocated to a random person.", that is much less savory.
Fair enough!
It gets even worse when a person, a rich whale says, "Here Kitten, have this apple."
And another whale says, "Oh Kitten, that article was good. Have this pear too!"
And I'm sitting there, literally starving because my wallet is so tiny, when someone else comes up to me on the one day I finally have a feast, and goes, "You don't deserve that pear! Give to me now!"
And then they cruelly take it, leaving a poor kitten to cry.
Heheh, or something. I guess this is kinda dramatic, considering the context.
I'm not really much of an authoritarian socialist.
I believe in helping people who need help on a voluntary level, which is why I might very well use my Steemit earnings to buy dinner for a friend or something.
But I don't like people taking my earnings as if to punish me for my success.
I understand your frustration and you are absolutely right on that, but what can we do? They have more power than we have and we can only use our words to defend ourselves and I think moving one is the best option!
Yeah, gotta just press onward through the misery and pain.
