Sorry but I think it's my decision who I want to pay. So specifically in this case I prefer to pay my followers who believe that my posts are important to learning their lives from the experiences I have lived and I am sharing here. As an artist I learned that I have to worry about my fans and not about those who criticize me negatively or are disrespectful.
Allow me to have my free will.
All the best again !!!
I support what you say, and you have very good judgment when you talk about it being better to take care of your fans than the criticism of other people.
But you have to remember that Steemit works in a way, and a lot of what is going for your post as rewards, somehow you are taking it away from others who also deserve it.
I propose something, which will surely help you more in the long term than this you are doing, which will surely make you win enemies forever in Steemit.
Invest a little less money in your posts, and let your fans and curatorship projects support you.
You could invest that money in STEEM POWER, or somehow create a community and support other creators, win the fans really, not doing this, it's your decision, but I assure you that doing what you are doing now it will not help in the long term.
Blessings.
I see that you are delegating SP to @helpie, a good cause without any doubt.
I apologize if I have been disrespectful, sometimes I do not measure my words. You may have good intentions, your articles may be useful for many people, but I think that is not the most correct way to proceed to pay so much money to be in trending, at least it is not what many consider good, and that's why you won flags.
So you have two options, keep winning flags, if you keep doing the same, or correct your attitude for your good and your money (you will stop receiving flags in your posts), as well as for the good of Steemit and his people.
If you really are as you make yourself look in your articles, I am sure that you will make the right decision.
What another good cause in Steemit to delegate in your opinion?
You can consider delegate some Steem Power for my project @celfmagazine, we are helping a lot of spanish speaking artists including musicians.
You can know more about our project in this post: https://steemit.com/celf/@celfmagazine/we-are-improving-steemit-by-supporting-artistic-creation-help-us-to-reward-steemit-artists
But please, consider stop doing this too, it will no cause any good in the future, not for you and your money, not for Steemit an his people.
I may even contribute to your cause but I believe there is a lack of understanding on your part, my friend, about me. Please do not tell me what to do with my money because I have good intentions in Steemit, I think you know very little about me but I do not go here to stay talking about me. We all know what we've done in our lives and I do not need to talk about it. My soul is clean I can assure you of this. About delegating to your project. How much do you think would help you? I will consult other people who also have very important causes in steemit to know what I will do soon.
From 500 STEEM POWER onwards as a delegation would be more than good, the more the better, so the 60 authors who voted weekly would receive greater rewards for their posts, and we would have more money to self finance the project.
Regarding what we talked about earlier, although I do not agree with how you use the bots, I accept that it was a lack of respect on my part to have spoken to you the way I did in the first comment, and I also accept that I don't have knowledge of what you want to do with the money or earnings of your post, and it's not my problem either.
However, I would advise you, that for your post to be more worthy of being in trending and stop the flags, you could post less often, and also use more pictures, learn to use markdown, maybe you could make videos, etc.
