This is something that I was bringing up a while back. While people claim this space is censorship free and whine about how evil Google and Youtube are, people do the same exact shit over here.
I brought this up a while back regarding Trevon and Craig. I completely understand people downvoting the Bitconnect and pyramid scheme type stuff, however for a while they were posting normal shit, recipes, stuff like that. I was kind of telling people if they want to post normal content that's not scamming people leave them be and let them post. If you don't like it don't upvote it but you also shouldn't downvote it. If they start with the nonsense again then downvote htem.
The flag or downvote button is to flag spam and keep the platform good, its not meant to punish people you disagree with or punish content you disaree with. To me its meant strictly for spam and harmful or malicious content, not a tool for hurting people you dont like.
When things get like that we lose any credibility saying this is a better platform than Youtube or there isn't censorship
