Haha YES :) that's also a very good point :) @scorer :)

But do not get overexcited, because when you get one you have another problem - other users are going to abuse you for that. So, instead of one abuser (Youtube) You get hundreds of them.

@scorer thanks! You mean the schmaltz guy? but how does that work anyway, if someone flags you. Does it affect your reputation score if they are lower? And do you lose visibility or I don't really understand.

No need to demonstrate ;) just explain please :)

The same as upvote just the opposite - downvote. You loose money. If the upvote is +$100.99 and downvote is -$90, you get $10.99.

Open the previous link and click on one item which was voted and see the details.

@scorer but I thought we could only flag, not downvote on steemit? I'm a bit confused :P

That means the same. Flag technically means a downvote with the power you choose. And the power on Steemit is STEEM POWER that is equal to $. That's why it is nice and bad at the same time.

ah okay I get it now! :) thank you for clarifying, I cannot choose my power yet I hear you can do that after 500 SP? then everything turns blue right instead of green?
