"Maybe those with influence on this platform think your daily payouts are too high for the service provided and are using the only mechanism available (the flag) to lower the payouts and leave more in the rewards pool for others creating original content?"
Bingo!
"It sounds like you're just in it for the money, not the community."
I don't even see a problem with anyone being in it for the money they should just set their expectations realistically. In theory anyone getting rich off Steemit is giving back to the community somehow regardless of motivations. If rewards are going out the window with no benefit to the community then there needs to be some investigation and tweaking of the system.
I'm all about realistic expectations, for sure. And yes, you're right about the money motivations not necessarily being a bad thing, but I also think, from a game theory perspective, people like to reward cooperative actors more than selfish actors. I'm not saying acting in your own self interest is bad, just something to consider from a game theory perspective. People would most likely vote up content from authors who are truly more concerned about the benefit of the whole network than about their individual reward slice.

those who have Steem in this community are in no place to make any moral arguments about how it should be distributed... 0.03% of the people have 97% of the Steem. Fuedalism called. It wants to know how Steemit figured out this wealth distribution.

Are you implying having Steem Power is automatically immoral? Can you explain your reasoning here? The wealth distribution is explained in the white paper and statements by the founders. If people feel this is immoral, why would they participate here?

I already removed my flag. Those remaining flags are from other accounts.
I suggest you just move on. You will get downvotes here. It's part of how Steemit works. Some people just flag because they disagree about payouts or any number of other reasons. Search for "flagging" and you'll see all kinds of posts about this. If you let it bother you this much, you will not enjoy your time here.

I flagged you here because you sent the exact same message to me and many others over and over again. That's spam. If you're not familiar with how to treat others in an online community then maybe this isn't the best place for you. Maybe this post will help you.
Don't spam or you will be flagged.

Every message I sent was typed each time... It was my typing, not some machine doing it for me... I visited that site, then all of a sudden my rating went down... I went back to that site to find out why...
