I don't really have any questions for myself, as I'm still having fun here, and realize this place is in Beta and kinks are still being worked out. I'm looking at it as more of a long-term investment thing....investing my time, basically. I'm getting some small rewards now, which is nice. I expect the bigger rewards to come later. Even if they don't, I'm still having fun writing here, and interacting with people who comment on my posts, with people whose posts I comment on, and with people in chat. I have regular, paying writing gigs, and also write novels, so this is more of a non-fiction, op-ed creative outlet for me, and I like it.

If I have any question, it's for other people. I read comments about this a lot, but don't get involved, because some of those exchanges can get pretty heated, and I'm not here for controversy. But, I do wonder, why do some high-earning posts with a lot of votes get flagged by those with a lot of Steem Power, because that one person (or two people, or so) think the post is getting paid beyond what it is worth? What about all the people with less Steem Power who felt it DID have value and voted on it? Don't their opinions matter? I've gotten paid as much and more as some of the high earning posts here from my private writing clients....good writing DOES have value, and writers deserve to get paid if their client and/or audience finds value in it. I'm a member of the National Writers Union, so writers getting paid is an important concern of mine.

So, I guess the question is why do the people with a lot of SP who flag high earning posts with a lot of votes decide to discount the opinions of all those voters with their flags? It doesn't seem very democratic.

Again, it's not a personal concern of mine, but I've seen it happen to more than one other writer here.
