RE: Too Much Fluff: flagging and Steemit - What does the community think about my flagging habits?
Flaggin on steemit is identical to 'demonetization' on Youtube.
Flaggin on steemit is identical to 'demonetization' on Youtube.
How so? Demonetized content on YouTube was done so by a single party: Google. A flag is not demonetization, it is simply stakeholders in the decenteralized platform using their stake to influence steem payouts based on their value to the voter. Everyone has the right to flag, the ammount that flag is worth is proportional to their stake in the platform. YouTube demonetization is very diferent than a flag. Steem is designed to allow the community to come to a sort of stake-weighted consensus on how payouts should be.
Can you elaborate? Because the two are very, very diferent.
the effects are the same.
one person, be it a whale or the central committee of you tube can demonetize a post.
.223s and .357s are 'very different' too...but if you get shot by one you're still hurtin for certin.
