camillesteemer is such an example of a pest here on steemit. The account used to be a part of a collective called Anonymous Steemit Victims Defence League, who was downvoting people, abusing their huge stakes. The community silenced them by taking away the delegations to the accounts. That's why they're powerless now. Which is a good thing. I've seen those accounts flag a newbie's second post ... that's not the first impression you want to make, right?!
I completely agree with you when you say HF21 is a recipe for disaster. I don't see this turn things for the better, unfortunately. But I guess all we can do is brace ourselves, close our eyes and hope for the best :0/
Nothing like diving into dark water huh? I've seen newbie accounts flagged too. We want people to stay not leave. I wish they would understand this. Keeping this activity up is what creates havoc with the prices. I was so happy to hear when their delegations were removed. It is the next best thing to removing them. If people used flagging or a downvote for what it actually is, things would be fine. Not too much happens that really relies on this process. If you don't agree with someone move on. Or have a discussion to understand. I just can't believe how petty some have become. We have money invested why would anyone want to tear that apart?
I don't get it either. I think in many cases, people are just high on power. Money and power... two of the most vicious drugs in the world.... :0(
