If we can increase the payout of those things we see as valuable, why should we not have the same power to decrease the payouts?
Though it doesn't always work to my benefit I think the system makes sense.
Egg-freaking-zactly, thank you.

Gee I need to try that next time I am in a market where people create things. Decrease the price because I think people are willing to pay too much for it. Why have steem power at all if you or someone else can decide that I am not allowed to use my power as I see fit?

It isn't them making a decision for your Steem power. They are making a decision with theirs.
Look, I don't think people should use their down voting power willy-nilly. But it's in no way unfair.

I'm saying the exact same thing right back at you: Flagging, just like upvoting, is me using my Steem Power as I see fit. What gives you the right to stop me?
Your market metaphor is not apt. The Steem marketplace has a fixed maximum daily sales amount that is rewarded based on the relative Steem Power being flexed behind each piece of content. No flea market or farmer's market works like that. Hence, your comparison is just not apt. It doesn't work.
