Great post once again pa dwin, Flagging is an issue, and will always be an issue as long as humans are behind the keys of any account. I believe the keynote to take awy from all these is to be moderate. A certain person which I do not wish to name(someone mention him a littledown) has quite some bots and a number of accounts on steemit, and he holds no bars when it comes to flagging. Then again, I believe using bots is cheating, though depending on the context. Ive found the use and help from minnowsupport and randowhale immerse, but there are bots out there that basically do nothing but cheat the system. I do understand that the blockchain is free for all, but when steemit grows ti a very large number, little problems like these could become major issues.
just like youtube and reddit.
I don't think it'll ever be as bad as youtube and reddit.
Jerks quickly stop making money and don't do as well here so while it happens I've also encountered people that are "admitted" trolls on every other platform that are not one here. So it'll never get as bad as those places.
With that said if they believe everyone should not be interested in the same things they are not interested in and they want to force it upon all of us and they happen to be VERY powerful then our support or lack of support becomes meaningless.
I only know of one person that seems to have been consistently like that, but I don't know if he still is. I think he may have focused his energies elsewhere. Though I can't really tell you as he has a great many accounts and a ton of power.
We can't make it go away completely, just like you can't make people like that go away in any other thing in real life... not just social media.
