I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, killed the rep and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily.
Sure, it may be bad for business. But the law of the land is upvotes, downvotes, and discourse. I'm contributing freely without any expectations, which is why I don't mind if anyone has me downvoted or did some bs experiment. Ultimately there's really nothing to be pissed about because it's all entirely voluntary, but of course, discourse is still important and it's a good point for whales to consider for how most will think about flags / downvotes.. Thanks for that post :)
A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)
Just imagine if there were no bots, and you had to open and read to vote. Even more weird every body had the same power, at the end of the day the pool was divided by rhe number of votes, and that was your payout
At least you would know what you voting for, I believe bots can't read, so they would be out of the game. Even the best whale can only open so many posts a day. as the French say Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Keep Steemin' okkiedot

Reddit is so full of great downvote gifs. We need to start making some steemit flag gifs.

Ahh haha, that's a great idea! I might work on a few while until the flagging experiment blows over.

If you had to read it before you vote, this would be a real game-changer.

There's just no way to do that, sadly. Even if we have chips planted into our brain to track reading signatures.. still can be faked. Hard problem :)
