Nobody in here think that maybe this isn't the best thing to showcase as #3 spot of main trending page???
#WAKEUP !!!
How dare you say not to upvote your own post? You brought 170$ worth of upvotes. Buying upvotes for profit is worst than upvoting your own stuff.
Appreciate the concern. How about people who don't buy upvote and don't get upvote and never land in the trending page despite posting more than 200 times and some of those posts worth topping the trending page (as per public feedback)?
While keeping trending page free of low quality posts is a noble thing to do, it is also noble to support authors who put in effort and brain into their posts but can't buy votes to reach trending pages?
I am not trying to whine. I am just making a point. You may agree, disagree, vote, flag or whatever you wish to do but that's what I wanted to say and I am glad that I have conveyed my message.
If you're trying to make a point I didn't get it. All I can read is ..." How about .... unrelated stuff....?"
BTW I was mainly pointing out that people should use the flag when something off like that hit the top of trending.
Please read this.
I meant that you did the right thing by flagging content that didn't deserve to be on the trending page (and only reached here by buying upvotes).
It would also be nice if you support authors with upvotes, those who do not, rather cannot, buy upvotes to reach trending pages but do post some quality content.
I'm sure you do that already. But that's what I wanted to say. I hope you get it.
You're basically telling me I can also upvote and would be making money from the 25% curation reward.
Never thought of that, Thanks.
@transisto,
I am basically saying that while you have power to flag unwanted content, the same power can also be used to help authors who post good content.
You may not want the 25 % curation reward but the 75 % author reward will be a great support to them.
I'm in no position to tell you what to do and what not. I'm just sharing a thought with you, having seen that you care about the platform.
Thank you for replying and having a conversation.
So depressing, Are you aware that I'm like one of a handful of people who actually use the flag?
I'm fully aware I can upvote, I wish more people would use the flag.
I never said anything against flagging unwanted content. I have in past reported such content and users because my flagging power didn't count much.
You are aware of course. I am not saying you are not aware. Anything anyone does to keep Steemit clean, I will support it.
How is this post still alive, why is nobody is flagging this post, time to leave steemit maybe!!!
