RE: Steemit User Satisfaction Survey
- i enjoy most, the interaction with intelligent people.
- i dislike the abuse of the flag by people who are able to take advantage of huge inequities, not based, in any way, on merit.
- i would like to stay on steemit. it is an enormous time sink, and i don't really see myself continuing to post here if steem continues to stay at these abysmal levels, or sinks even farther. as it is, i am here, now, only for my friends, and the occasional inspiration. my vote means nothing. i am making less than people do in west africa, and even that keeps falling in value. i probably won't power down, as the pittance i've accumulated is worth more as a gamble on future gain, than it would be a help in paying my bills.
hope this helps. any further questions, please ask.
Thank you for your input. That will be great to add to the qualitative and quantitative data.
I don't think that being here to earn a lot of rewards is really the right expectation to have. The site is really in it's infant stages right now. If we can turn STEEM into the next Facebook / Bitcoin, then the few dollars of STEEM we have today could be worth thousands. I think working towards that is really the best mindset to have right now.
i never had expectations or i would only, have expected the bad behavior of the powerful.
Are you referring to issues with flagging?
yes, and also their failure to add any content of value, if any content at all.
You should check out this post on an alternate view on flagging:

When you say they have provided no value, what are you basing that off of? Just the fact that they don't post blog content? Could they have provided value in other ways, such as developing code for the blockchain, running mining/witness servers, investing money into the platform?
i read this post. it is a sad attempt to justify a desire to have more control than one person should have. at the very least the flag should be separated into several categories including, but not limited to, spam, plagiarism, abuse, and opposing opinion. abuse of the flag should be able to be penalized in the aggregate. also a cap should be put on the damage one person can do to another's account. if one person is genuinely engaging in a form of abuse, many will see it. it needs not be up to one self appointed "judge, jury, executioner". it can be handled in the aggregate.
What is the worst case of flag abuse that you have seen? How much damage was done to the person's account?
