RE: Steemit flagging to reduce rewards, it's GREAT
Your video has a lot of assumptions as to the way krnel feels about his rewards and steemit itself based on no factual evidence. @krnel is a hard working member of the steemit community and I think it is wrong to punish him for it. Using your argument of flagging to reduce rewards to make others want to strive, if a new user sees all this drama between whales and big bloggers on the platform how do you think they would feel? I personally don't feel comfortable working towards something just to be downvoted and hated for it. In the real world hard work is matched with rewards, and as you said yourself bots follow the money so how is it his fault bots are upvoting him (i read @berniesanders talk about the flags being a result of bots upvoting him)? This whole situation is terrible for the community, we should stop acting like little kids and accept that someone is more successful than you.
@krnel started all the drama, so new users can have a bad impression of steemit, this action discounts any previous hard work put in.
I'd like to ask you just a couple questions. The first being, if @krnel was never flagged for having content too good in the eyes of whales would the drama have started? and the second being, would you enjoy being flagged on something you put a lot of hard work into creating? I think you are having trouble looking past popular opinion and you are letting it blind your judgment.
the flag is a private matter between krnel and smooth, no need for all that public drama. I have been flagged many times before, and my reaction is to agree and accept the flag, as denying would only dig a deeper hole for myself. I never work hard on blog posts or anything in life. All I do is have fun 24/7, so I'm not the right person to ask questions that have to do with the idea of "work"
The flag is not private, that is just your opinion of how/what to do about flag, and its evident by the fact that this is a completely transparent system, no privacy, none, so you're mistaken on many levels but you sidestepped the question which is a weaselly thing in it of itself, but you think any discerning reader won't see you for what you are? Actions speak louder than words, you chose to give your opinion in order (your choices>not my opinion either, a fact of your person) to escape answering a simple and very thoughtful question, and to claim that you don't work just have fun is to say you live in a perpetual monoplane where there is no contrast, your fun is as meaningful as saying your opinion, to make the point even more without anything to break that monotony of fun routine you have fun when you're defecating, pissing, seeking a bit of privacy to pop your pimples on your fat knees or to lotion your hemorrhoids, and it's simply another weaselly way to escape answering a good question. If someone came and spit in your mouth and told you that you're worth the scum of their shoes it would be fun 24/7 and dignity and work and questions of value would only be related from the point of absolute absurdities just as like a weaselly person would peg work to an "idea". Nice way to escape answering good questions, because work is an idea.
ok :)
Ok isn't an answer, and you still escaped answering the questions, because craig-grant cannot face/own/dignify a good question with an equally good answer, or even better, a more refined and precise question.
*the scum off their shoes
Again the questions were, in no particular order:
Would you enjoy being flagged on the content that you poured your conviction into, your most cherished idea?
and
Would the drama have started if he wasn't flagged for too good of a content?
To reiterate your weasely answers:
I don't idea, i just am.
and why not keep it private, because the flag is private...
