You don't understand how the system on Steemit works. It's nothing against you, it's just not explained well at all.

It's a pie of rewards that we all have the potential of profiting from based on votes. If you vote up one person you are taking some small amount of the finite daily pie to give to that one person. That's the simplest way of explaining it and I guarantee you that less than 50% of the users here understand that. They think the money per post is just given freely, but it's not.

Therefore we all should have say about how the money is divvied up. When the rewards are disproportionate for what that user feels they are worth, there is no reason they can't try to dial that back.

As far as envy is concerned. If the real reason someone is flagging is due to envy then that isn't a good reason. If you have been on this site as long as I have you certainly know that there are many many articles that get rewards disproportionate to their contents value. There are many many more that get no reward for excellent well thought out content that took many many hours to prepare. To overcompensate the rewards on a top trending post, that was likely colluded in to trending in the first place, to the detriment of all of the rest of the users is criminal and ultimately detrimental to the site as a whole.

I could go on and on about this topic.

Cheers
