Thanks for clarifying, there might have been a bit of a time-skip over on Steemd, but he is posting at the very limit (If you check his Steem profile, he's posting every 5 minutes), and it is much more than 13 posts per day (He's posted more than 13 in the past 1.5 hours already!)

The problem isn't about revenue, it is simply about the absurdity of posting so frequently, and if there are 148 accounts that do the same or worse then they also deserve the same treatment. Flagging reduces a users bandwidth on the platform and hence restricts their posting frequency, which will prevent further spam on the platform. In the future Steemit needs to address this issue, but as it stands right now as users this is a way for us to do something about it.
