Even though each user's stake is theirs to use however they choose, the feeling of unfairness that has arisen due to the inequality of stake among the users has harmed the user experience and perception of the platform.

Making @Steemit more fair
Problem
Keeping posts visible
Cause
Heavy stake weighted flags can make a post invisible.
Consequences
While on Steemit beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the result of flags making posts invisible results in:
A shoddy UX.
Experienced Steemians may attempt to "reveal" a post for themselves. However, will someone finding the same post shared on Twitter, Facebook or hyperlinked through another post or article, attempt to "reveal" the post or skip revealing the article?
Would search engines like "almost dead" links?
Making posts invisible is one of the main features of flags. When a user posts a malicious link or spam, hiding the post/comment is the intent.
