RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues - Sponsored by @carlgnash and @paulag!
haha... it might work on the blockchain if haejin has his way.. "vote me or else get flagged you peasant" ...
And we can tell our kids of the day when it wasn't like that... lol
I'd rather not have all the power concentrated on one person who demanded upvotes or threatened flags. When I first started and saw the controversy, I thought about trying to help iron things out. I thought better of it and I'm glad I did. I've seen a few medium accounts get destroyed by sticking their noses in there. I imagine that had to start all over. Once you're targeted, it's hard to get free.
sad but true... I have see the same as well. I even helped one guy to get a new account... some people let the power go to their head (I guess just like in real life)
The difference between real life and here is that in real life, you have to remember to go back and target the person. Here, you can set steemauto and forget about the person. For a whale, 1% downvote is a rounding error, but for the person being targeted, it can be all of the money they would make. It's tough.
