I definitely agree with all the points you have mentioned above my friend,

Don't flag content just because you disagree or don't like it

but there are many people I have seen here how just downvote you without any valid reason, the most probable reason being they disagree with you. how sad is that. I have seen this personally thought it has not happened to me, but to one of my friends here, I still somewhat believe in high-quality content, but as you have said rightly that if a newbies repo is 25 no matter how good his/her content is it doesn't get that much of an attention or upvotes. I have personally seen it with myself when I started. But there are many kind-hearted and generous people here too, who help, I also got help from a few of those generous people, which I won't name here. Whatever it may be in the long run if you are honest and post quality content here, it would pay off one day. Thank you and nice post.
