RE: My thoughts on flags for disagreement on rewards

in #flags7 years ago

I noticed some of your flags yesterday and it made me want to check out your content. I understand how difficult it is to be new to the platform, it wasn't as difficult when I joined due to the amount of active users, but you have to imagine that its not much different than other platforms out there. You have to put in a lot of time and work to even get noticed let alone start making rewards.

Sort:  

It isn't much different, except in people's viewpoints on how it should be.
Everyone's pushing for higher and higher quality content, like a professional paper or something. I don't think that's bad necessarily, except when we force our own standards on others. I'm trying not to do that. I've upvoted posts by non-native speakers, because I recognized the hard work, and appreciated it. I'm trying to push myself as well. I'm also posting just normal blogs as well.
I posted a few youtube animated songs that for some reason I have been addicted to for the last few days, and it was hard as hell to let myself post content that didn't really require any effort. I don't expect it to earn more than a few cents, and would feel bad if it somehow got more. It's bog standard for other blogging platforms though. You make blogs about things you like, things you're thinking about, your life, and sometimes, a song you like.
In truth, many times we shouldn't be flagging the content, but have a way to flag the voters. Like "Hey, you shouldn't be giving this such a high reward." Then they'd get an alert, and be allowed to adjust the vote, which you should be allowed to do.
