A very well articulated article on Steemit ! I am new here. And my observation did tell me that there are two segments to Steemit. One is the content creators . The other is the money creators. But it was a little vague in my head as I am new to cryptocurrency. But you have truly written well and explained the scenario so well. I fall into the category of a content creator . And I agree, allowing flagging is tantamount to allowing full scale prejudices, mafia , terrorist wars to fly around uncontrolled. As you say "strong-arm techniques to assert dominance" ... I know nothing of what happened . But your article makes sense to me. It is important to look at the bigger picture !
