Thanks @gnimeets for your honest feedback on the issue! If whales avoid to encounter bigger whales then selective flagging of minnows is questionable. This is the biggest disservice they are doing to the community and the platform under the disguise of cleaning up the system. Don't know who they are fooling to!

I feel your apprehensions and resulting decision to power down. I too am disappointed to see the way things work here and am not very optimistic to find quality content generation and good loving relationships on this platform in future too if things don't change. So I'd like to promote any alternative and better idea than Steemit platform. AIOS is one attempt towards it. I want to support the people to at least coming up with a better idea. I hope much better ideas will emerge in the near future. Steem will remain like a bitcoin of social media but I'm waiting for the Ether of social media to emerge.

Thanks for the resteem! You got it right that the prime issue raised here is not AIOS but a biased and tilted system where a few are privileged to throw their tantrums on you at their will. Raising the issue initiates the discussion in the right direction and may trigger some better solutions in the future forks.

Thanks for your visit and engagement with the issue. I'd love to send you a small tip! Let's hope everything will be sorted out in due course so that minnows can participate here fearlessly.
