lol... that's funny... You and I both know that nobody runs around hitting the "show" button and reading posts that say "This post was hidden due to low ratings." ...
and maybe the fact that you didn't read it all says something powerful...As a large Steem holder yourself, I'd think you'd like to find ways to encourage people to be on the platform. Surely you must see some linkage between the value of Steem and the number of people using it.
And be honest with yourself on why you flagged it (and flagged almost everyone that agreed with the post)... and we both know its not because I'm "whining".
Steem, as a crypto is failing because of the leeches (including Steemit, inc.), not because a few morons (mainly the ones who resteemed you) get flagged.
Let me put it this way, when there were tons of people using the platform and keeping their faith in the future of what Steemit could be, that created demand.
The increase in demand may have been overwhelmed by the "leeches" you refer too taking more than they should have, and thus the fall in value.
So my point is while you may be entirely right that people are leeching off the system, it doesn't help to run people off either. Obviously I would agree with you if there are people "taking" what they shouldn't be. But I would also think you should agree that we should find ways to increase demand in the future too.
If your grand strategy is to run people off so that the place is a ghost town, Steem drops, and that will expose the "leeching"...then I guess it could work. The hard part though would be getting the people back when you've fixed the hole the money was leaking out from. Seems like a lot of work to run people off (and then hope to get em back).
ps... maybe a few of the "morons" might support you if you took the time to explain how they could.
