    It's easy for someone with a $280,000 account value to determine what an excessive reward is?

    Not everyone has a quarter million in the bank. Some people are trying to eat, or feed their families, and one trending post can make a huge difference to them.

    The $0.01 that gets added on to everyone else's posts when you downvote a trending post makes absolutely no difference to them. You always attempt to justify this shit by saying that you are helping others by the downvote, but the hurting far outweighs the alleged helping. So perhaps you could find a better way to be of assistance, like actively finding posts that you think deserve higher rewards and upvoting them.

    You're far too quick to use the hammer and far too inconsiderate of the potential consequences of its blow.

    I think we have engaged enough times now to be sure that we are likely never going to agree on anything of importance. Not when it comes to the use of flags at least. I just wonder how you are able to find joy in this platform from doing what are doing. Do you really feel no remorse at all for the rewards you have stripped from hardworking authors?

    He's only making $21 now! The last time I looked it was at $40.
    How is $40 an excessive award for an EXCELLENT POST?
    Can't you at least give a smaller % flag?
    He/she have been only posting for a month, with very few followers, and yet managed to put out such extraordinary content that it attracted all those votes!

      Also, 11 people Re-Steemed this post!
      That means that it was considered exceptional to do so.
      I do know that I am very selective in what I resteem.
      If that many people value this post that much, than $40 is not at excessive reward. It is insulting to lower his payout to only $20.
