RE: IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? A message to the most powerful players and everyone else who feel powerless
I have no idea what all the goals of different parties within this flagging war is? To my knowledge some people want to distribute the power and others want to hold it? Correct me if I am wrong. I'm not here to judge.
I understand that people who have earned their high stake on here wanting to see the benefits of it when they upvote someone and they see 20 cent reward or more. But at the same time there are 10x more people who upvote and see the ticker rise by nothing. - How discouraging is that? Just by giving them the power of 1 cent, could mean a lot. It's all about giving, this platform. Why not share the power to do so with others? You still are the one benefitting most of it when more users join and buy steem. Think about it.
Why not distribute some of this 20 cents for others to give? Did you buy in to just benefit yourself or to see good things rewarded? I'd like to see open discussion about this issue. What is happening, really. People are talking about war and some users have no awareness of such thing happening at all, I think we need better communication on the issue for sure.
Distribution of Steem around the platform is good, but people being targetted and flagged into oblivion by powerful players is silly. Unfortunately the flagging experiment which helps spread the steem around, and gives more power to users, only reinforces the "rule by force" system which others are abusing or using (depending on your perspective). I like the result of the flagging experiment, but it has to end, to stop this other aspect of flagging which is getting out of control.
Many of the people who mined their way to their large SP have already made lots of profit, they have already got theirs, and so may no be incentivized to act with the community's best interest at heart.
Edit:
@seablue and others are being targeted by @berniesanders, who are in turn targeting him back. I don't know how it began. I only know how it will end; with the Low Orbit Flag Cannon.
