RE: Dateline: March 13, 2017 Blockchain social media whales admit to conducting behavioral experiment on steem.it members.
I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, with massive 10% flags/DV, by the TOP whales, - when 1% would have been fair..... it killed the rep score and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily. Poorly thought out, at best.
Same is happening to me. One user claimed the downvote was just to off set an upvote by a whale, while the user themselves had a value of over $255,000.
Yep!
Time for a #SteemitStrike!
