RE: Curation problems (incentive, rewards and self-voting)
There's nothing wrong with flagging. Everyone is allowed to use their power however they want and if they want to flag to redistribute rewards, that's allowed.
Yes content quality is obviously subjective, but the average rating is pretty relevant. You will hardly ever get punished for upvoting something you'll like. You'll usually only get punished if you upvote scams or illegal content or something similar.
What would you consider to be illegal content? As for flagging, i don't think we can reach an agreement, i see it as detrimental and most likely to promote enmities and other problems, but everyone is free to think as he or she wishes.
I don't consider anything illegal, the government does. But fuck the government, right? :P
Well i'm sure some day you'll find some content harmful or some person harmful to the platform in some way and use the flag feature.
