This Is "The Experiment" In Action
Looking through my newsfeed I just noticed a post by @craig-grant that had a $0.00 "potential payout" in the next 20 hours. I thought that was pretty weird since Craig's posts usually average around $5 - $10.
After a closer look at his 178 votes at the time I noticed @smooth 's vote at the top with a little " - " instead of a " + ". This is the first time I've actually seen a flag. That's what it looks like when you get flagged and that's what happens when a whale flags a post. In this case the payout was completely nullified.
I hope Craig isn't mad I shared this and I'm not trying to gloat. But after all the talk about "The Experiment" think this is a good example of how strong a single whale vote can be.
I do appreciate that @abit and @smooth are trying to distribute the rewards pool to more users and I think something needs to be done to equalize the power between Whales and lower accounts. But I do get that no-one is happy when they lose money.

Oh. I was thinking it was just another random flag against high payouts. Thanks for the link.

People are losing money everytime someone else is upvoting. For example i just upvoted your post and that money was taken from everyone else.

I get that and I'm not against flagging in general. I just wanted to point out again that I wasn't trying to gloat about Craig losing the rewards.
