the down votes will bring steemit a certain death....many steemians give up their accounts because they are getting flagged by some idiots pretending they are protecting the copy rights, plagiarism, etc.etc. One of them is @spaminator, he even flag people because they use irrelevant tags to their content. There are actually many people on this platform that don't handle the English language very well and mistakes are easily made. they don't have to be down voted for that. And he down vote people because they up vote themselves....EXCUSE ME? As long as steemit platform allow people to up vote themselves in my opinion @spaminator is committing an abuse....and whats bothering me most is that the Whales doesn't do anything to this idiots.
And now I have a question for you @theycallmedan . You are saying that you will down vote posts that adds little or no value for Steem...What if a post has no value to you but has a great value for me?
You see....I don't have anything to lose if Steemit are going to hell because my account are holding only 1000 SP but the question the whales should ask themselves is what THEY have to lose?
And next year when facebook take a step further with their gram token I am afraid that this platform will die very fast.
In my opinion steemit was created to be a free platform, allowing people to post what the hell they want. The copy-paste, plagiarism and good content bullshit will bring death to this platform.
CHEERS!
AND THERE IT COMES......15 minutes later my comment was down voted by @mack-bot
I guess my comment was bad content
Misuse of tags is actually a real issue. It makes finding content of a specific type so much harder.
It's not difficult for people to learn. People who can't use tags correctly or are otherwise messing up the system are ruining the platform more than the flaggers are.

If 95% of the post is used by bots, there are no comments and the person used 200-300$ on the post, and I read it and see myself there is no value it brings to Steem, I will feel comfortable with my DV.
If the user uses 200-300$ on a post, gets 100 comments, lots of non bot upvotes, and I think the post is trash, well I won't DV that because it is obv bringing value to Steem. At the end of the day I am an investor, and if you feel the need to blow your post to the top of trending using the inflation pool allocation, then I will use my stake to make sure you are not abusing what really is a glitch in the Steem system atm.

I feel like you will be one of the few that use them responsibly then. The vast majority will likely be retaliatory/personal in nature which will likely make for an even worse user experience.
