to downvote posts that basically copy pasta some link of a naked chick?

hi I saw you unfollowed me, I don't normally go on steemdb, anyways, I scrolled back and it turned out you were my first follower :D weird as it is I haven't payed much attention to you during the past few months, but then again I didn't pay much attention to anything, other than maybe 2,3 people here and my own life which had taken a back seat.

I presume you had a problem with my comment, I'd like to clarify why I have started flagging here and there, first of I don't mind copy pasted links, my first run in was when a random youtube video had made it to the trending page with 40$ way back when my posts that I spend around 3 hours on, were making a dollar up to five here and there, I meant no disrespect and I didn't care much, I joked around how if this post was worth 40$ then mine should be worth 200, how he's basically making money off somebody else and how he could have at least added some context or something personal on how he got t the video or something. I didn't flag then and I rarely do, I do flag however when I see the follow for follow making 2000 followers because he knocked on 15000 doors and made who knows how many spammy comments, when bots are spamming or people are claiming something that they don't own as their own is when I have a problem, I don't mind people sharing stories, I don't mind people sharing links, I don't mind people adding a sentence in a post with a picture, I don't mind the blatant spam some posts are I just don't pay attention to them, you're stories are nice, at least the five chapters I've read, the news you share, I don't care for so I don't open that, I've read enough and too much articles to know it doesn't matter much to me and it takes time away from more important things, like being on steemit for five hours :D or watching a crapload of videos on ted or some algorithmic playlist on some topic on YT.

Flagging is the only thing that could bring some conversation in some cases, in most it brings more spam, but in the case of payouts when some bot queue goes and upvotes or people blatantly abuse payouts well of course I will flag and of course when somebody welcomes me in steemit and wants a follow for follow with a copy pasted colorful five imagery comment.

Cheers, good luck with the writings :)
