That doesn't do those who've been flagged just because whales wanted the money for themselves any good.
@haejin at least has some emotional support that comes from having folks back him against the flags.
Most minnows don't.
Minnows don't see much rewards, and getting flagged for it when they do, pretty much calls for a ragequit. At least, for folks that are posting original content, and not spamming or scamming.
I don't exactly understand how the whales benefit directly from giving flags.? Of course we all know that there is major abuse in the voting system from Self voting excessively to Voting bots and circle jerks but excuse my ignorance for not understanding how this is connected to flagging.
