I think what I hate the most about the platform is it's inability to filter out original content creators out from the whole bunch of other people including spammers and scammers.
Minnows are forced to either use dirty tricks to get their content visible, or simply join another minnow support group where the chances of their development are still low considering the fact that those places are usually filled with other minnows who are fighting the same problem.
On the other hand, the spammers and scammers take advantage of flags and downvotes to intentionally make others' (original/quality) content less visible just so that their spams can be broadcasted to even more people.
The worst part? Minnows can't do anything about it personally. Their only option is to complain to whales or steemcleaners, because if they start flagging spams, they risk getting their own content flagged by the whole group of spammers which they worked really hard for.
Thanks for the contest, @bit.curious!
