Your video has a lot of assumptions as to the way krnel feels about his rewards and steemit itself based on no factual evidence. @krnel is a hard working member of the steemit community and I think it is wrong to punish him for it. Using your argument of flagging to reduce rewards to make others want to strive, if a new user sees all this drama between whales and big bloggers on the platform how do you think they would feel? I personally don't feel comfortable working towards something just to be downvoted and hated for it. In the real world hard work is matched with rewards, and as you said yourself bots follow the money so how is it his fault bots are upvoting him (i read @berniesanders talk about the flags being a result of bots upvoting him)? This whole situation is terrible for the community, we should stop acting like little kids and accept that someone is more successful than you.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
@krnel started all the drama, so new users can have a bad impression of steemit, this action discounts any previous hard work put in.
I'd like to ask you just a couple questions. The first being, if @krnel was never flagged for having content too good in the eyes of whales would the drama have started? and the second being, would you enjoy being flagged on something you put a lot of hard work into creating? I think you are having trouble looking past popular opinion and you are letting it blind your judgment.
the flag is a private matter between krnel and smooth, no need for all that public drama. I have been flagged many times before, and my reaction is to agree and accept the flag, as denying would only dig a deeper hole for myself. I never work hard on blog posts or anything in life. All I do is have fun 24/7, so I'm not the right person to ask questions that have to do with the idea of "work"
ok :)
