If only they could exclusively flag each other and not drag others into their feud! Haha!

I'm a little surprised so many people are jumping into these flag wars with young accounts. I guess I see the desire for a big whale upvote and they think they're getting on a side that will benefit them, but aren't they afraid that if the dust ever settles the entire steemit identity they built is simply that of a flagger, making it so there's no backlog of quality content for people to take seriously? Could hinder their long term growth here. Also, what if they don't "win" the flag war and just end up getting downvoted by the other party more than they get upvoted by their party. I guess I'm assuming that the flag wars take enough of their time that they probably aren't making the content they hoped to make on this platform, maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe I'm over-analyzing too, I just don't see how this creates long term value for them.
