I haven't seen @themadcurator ever flag anyone.

I haven't mentioned it, but I appreciate the encouragement you've given me lately. It's been a factor. I've even increased the bandwidth I can use online so that I can read and post more as a direct result. That encouragement matters a lot for little folks.

I only see @themadcurator providing similar encouragement for others, and decreasing that account's ability to provide incentive for folks to grow the market for Steem and add value by posting quality content seems counterproductive.

I note @berniesanders has offered to stop flagging accounts you upvote.

"You saw me opposing every single one of your votes..."

"Now, I'm going to stop... What's your move, Antonio? Going to stop flagging @themadcurator...?"

I think that would be beneficial for folks that are just getting upvotes for making good content.

Thanks!
