Shit like this shows just how FAR STEEMIT still has to go...but I can see these things before they happen...just like bitcoin in 2010...STEEMIT is one of those...but a ways to go

Agree, this is just a hurdle Steemit needs to get over to grow. It's common sense logic that this behaviour will destroy Steemit so hopefully, common sense will prevail and put an end to this nonsense. Quickly.
Other than flagging is there anything else that can be done to make people think twice about paying for a trending spot?
