RE: Why The Writing On Steemit Usually Sucks
You are more than welcome to be as critical as you feel is justified about anything of mine you read, I can tell it isn't that good but it is hard to see what you need to improve myself :)
Stories trending or doing well seems to have more to do with the people posting them than the actual content of the story...
I wouldn't critique something of people I like, unless explicitly asked for. But when a post gets boosted by sycophants or $100 bidbots and they're garbage, it should be fair game.
What I wanted to say was, its a contradiction that posts get high values when they can't be criticized without facing flagging.
Really they all should be fair game. In some ways actual critical feedback means more than the vague gushing comments you quoted, where they could apply to anything. At least you know the person has actually read it. It also takes a lot more time and effort to give actual critical feedback than a basic gushing wall of meaningless adoration. I completely agree with you, that isn't what flagging should be for.
Consider this an invitation, I genuinely want to improve, so if you ever think anything, don't hold back :)
