RE: STEEM WHISTLEBLOWER: Whale Bots Are Devaluing STEEM!
It's no good for the sole reason that you subjectively believe the content is not worth the votes.
Personally, I think it is not a good enough reason because of the subjectivity.
I see what you are both saying though. When compared with some other posts, it seems that most people would feel that those blog posts are not groundbreaking. That's not to say they don't bring value, but in the current state, people take offense if you were to flag/downvote their content. So @klye downvoting may make @mrron mad who has a high reputation now and could (I doubt he will) start flagging @klye.
Everyone is free to do as they wish when it comes to voting, I think @klye is more worried that if this is the type of content that is making thousands of dollars, more and more people will create this type of content (whether that is the intent or not, it's up to the individual user to decide this).
For me personally, if the trending feed was full of articles like those @mrron writes, I would be disappointed. There are some who spend 2 days writing and editing and receive $5 (That's not a complaint, just a reality for some) for their work and may become frustrated see this trend when it appears that it could have been written with not a great amount of editing or anything groundbreaking.
Subjectively or objectively, if there is a reasonable rationale, then that is good enough.
