RE: #SharkSchool Lesson 6: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I had a laugh or two reading your post. I just find it ridiculous to have this as the number one on trending due to spamming upvote-bots. If you have original content written for STEEM only that you think is funny and unique on which you are not spamming upvote bots like this, then feel free to link-drop me them on steem.chat and I'll upvote 2 to compensate for the flag.
You know @yallapapi's posts are a thousand times better than most posts that hit the trending page. The banner and the title are part of the persona. You have to have a certain degree of sophistication to get that.
Spare yourself from adding that kind of jibberish. I get the person and the content and think there is a place on steemit for guys like him to make a decent buck writing his type of content and engaging with his type of audience. If there are many of you who enjoy his style here on steemit who now came across him thanks to his post going to Trending then good for you/him.
But I still maintain that the Blockchain has mechanics to both upvote and downvote for a reason, and I see nothing wrong in using that ability.
I appreciate the offer but I'll pass this time around. It sounds like you just flagged me on principle. I wonder if you flagged the rest of the posts on Trending as well? Hmm looks like you didn't. All good brother I won't take it personally.
Alright.
Well, no single STEEM holder should have to take on the responsibility of consistently flagging and policing all posts. It ought to be the joint responsibility of the community to also flag when disagreeing on rewards. If only enough to make over-use of bots less attractive.
I have nothing against you, I just believe the current state of STEEM and what content it surfaces is very far from where I want the platform to be, nor that it represents "proof of brain" as the SMT whitepaper claims the steemit-model is a proven example of. So I just think people in general should be better at occasionally throwing a flag at the content they see as grossly over-valued. I am very much against people bullying individual users or trying to crush them with flags on all posts that they do. But using our ability to give both positive and negative influence ought to be used both ways.
