RE: Why We Are Getting Personal After Getting Free Downvote Power!Is It Good For Steemit!
This is a trend worthy because this flag war destroying steem more and people leaving steemit more then before This is the major issue i see after fork no one will like to post bid bots even not profitable now a day people buy votes to trend their post , every one have rights to trend their posts they paid for it , steemit should make official statement and rules how much reward is reward rapping i see some people flagged only for 1$ reward their mistake only they used bots . @aggroed the worst witness i must say he will never able to fix steem price with his agenda
This is still early days with the free downvotes. The flag wars that you speak of are involving those with very a large stake and I see it as a way of them trying to protect their investment. I too, in my very small way am protecting my proof of brain investment by downvoting things which i don't see as not bringing the value that they extract back to the blockchain in a proof of brain sort of way.
The payout value on a posts is governed by a consensus mechanism which all users are allowed be part of to a bigger or lesser degree based on their stake.
We are still trying to find equilibrium in where to biggest value is and are all able to voice our opinion. My hope is that by using these new tools the overall health of steem will increase.
One thing I agree with is that downvotes should not be used as punishment but as a way of bringing about a more balanced system.
Thank you for your comment, even though we disagree.
