I’m personally and viciously targeted.
Can you help us know which definition of "vicious" you're using here?
Vicious:
- addicted to or characterized by vice; grossly immoral; depraved; profligate:
- given or readily disposed to evil:
- reprehensible; blameworthy; wrong:
- spiteful; malicious:
- unpleasantly severe:
- characterized or marred by faults or defects; faulty; unsound:
- savage; ferocious:
Might there be another option? Maybe those with influence on this platform think your daily payouts are too high for the service provided and are using the only mechanism available (the flag) to lower the payouts and leave more in the rewards pool for others creating original content? I'd hope people flagging your post would also leave an explanation and it saddens me they have not.
This is the second time you've said you would quit Steemit, the first being when your photo curation (which some saw as copying someone else's photo curation) started getting flagged to lower the payout.
Maybe less drama and more reason would be helpful here. I think your daily stat posts provide useful information. I also think they are often rewarded too highly compared to other quality content I see with few or no rewards. When you take this as a personal "vicious" attack, instead of a more reasoned approach about network payouts, from my perspective, you're coming across as ungrateful for the rewards you are getting and for those who do appreciation the content you create. It sounds like you're just in it for the money, not the community.
I hope I'm wrong, and I hope people who flag you and anyone else will explain themselves.
Edit: For those who do value daily rewards information, you can always get it here on demand thanks to @jesta.
"Maybe those with influence on this platform think your daily payouts are too high for the service provided and are using the only mechanism available (the flag) to lower the payouts and leave more in the rewards pool for others creating original content?"
Bingo!
"It sounds like you're just in it for the money, not the community."
I don't even see a problem with anyone being in it for the money they should just set their expectations realistically. In theory anyone getting rich off Steemit is giving back to the community somehow regardless of motivations. If rewards are going out the window with no benefit to the community then there needs to be some investigation and tweaking of the system.
I'm all about realistic expectations, for sure. And yes, you're right about the money motivations not necessarily being a bad thing, but I also think, from a game theory perspective, people like to reward cooperative actors more than selfish actors. I'm not saying acting in your own self interest is bad, just something to consider from a game theory perspective. People would most likely vote up content from authors who are truly more concerned about the benefit of the whole network than about their individual reward slice.
those who have Steem in this community are in no place to make any moral arguments about how it should be distributed... 0.03% of the people have 97% of the Steem. Fuedalism called. It wants to know how Steemit figured out this wealth distribution.
Are you implying having Steem Power is automatically immoral? Can you explain your reasoning here? The wealth distribution is explained in the white paper and statements by the founders. If people feel this is immoral, why would they participate here?
Just below this is the post you need to un-flag...
I figured you were having a hard time finding it...Thanks
I already removed my flag. Those remaining flags are from other accounts.
I suggest you just move on. You will get downvotes here. It's part of how Steemit works. Some people just flag because they disagree about payouts or any number of other reasons. Search for "flagging" and you'll see all kinds of posts about this. If you let it bother you this much, you will not enjoy your time here.
What's going on...??? Did I stumble upon something I shouldn't have...??? I went from 47 down to 46... That never happened to me before...
@pocketechange
Flagged for spam.
If you can't find the flag, it's above this comment you made...
Are you saying someone flagged me for spam... Or are you saying you just flagged me for spam...???
@pocketechange
I flagged you here because you sent the exact same message to me and many others over and over again. That's spam. If you're not familiar with how to treat others in an online community then maybe this isn't the best place for you. Maybe this post will help you.
Don't spam or you will be flagged.
Every message I sent was typed each time... It was my typing, not some machine doing it for me... I visited that site, then all of a sudden my rating went down... I went back to that site to find out why...
@pocketechange
Can you remove the flag...???
I deleted all the replies I could find...
@pocketechange
lol
I don't have time to scroll through the entirety of masteryodas blog, but I'm doubting that fluff posting stats got him to his current level. I bet at one point before he turned to the dark side his content was informative, engaging and testament to the hard work put forth to produce it.
I'm but a minnow in a big pond, but the reality here is that stats posts or more akin to spam than engaging content. I wrote a comment previously on a different topic where I described "Lazy Whale Syndrome"
"This may even address what I as a new user have come to see as “lazy whale syndrome”.. I’m a whale, I made it.. I’m just going to post articles full of links with the mentality that the legion of dung beetles following me will upvote in the hopes of gaining curation manna from the turd I just produced."
