Can you give those of us who came into this late some background on what's going on?
I'm seeing a lot of negativity and flagging the last few weeks, almost entirely from the "have-nots" trying to pull down whatever they identify as "the haves".
Marxism seems to be seeing a popularity surge here on Steemit just like it has in the West more generally.
Blergh.
when the steem price is not going up, and even starts to go down for a while, flagging always increases, it's interesting, and organic, steemit is an emotional web site. Even Dan, the creator of steem blockchain would get into flagging wars when he was on steemit
