In this case, I'm going to go one step further and invite you to practice.
Flags are our tool to fight abuse and bad actors.
This profile is using other people's pictures and stories and voting it up with bots.
We do not have to flag this post to zero, just a few more flags to ensure the post is not profitable will be enough.
A reminder: Steem simulates the Wisdom of the Crowd.
20 people see your post, 10 view it and like it, they upvote it, 5 ignore it and 5 flag it... At the end of the week you get to pocket whatever is left over...
Simple Explanation of how the reward system works:
Each day the Steem Blockchain creates new Steem
That Steem is distributed via our votes
The more stake you hold the more your votes are worth
When you post (or comment) the community has 3 options
- upvote
- downvote/flag
- no action
A post is active for 7 days. When that week is over you get to claim whatever the balance is.
Flags can be overdone, but if more people used them we would have way less garbage.
If you feel the need to remind me that flagging does pay, go ahead, but I happen to think that is one of the dumbest and most immature lines I've I've ever heard. it is just a cost of doing business.
Restaurants don't get paid to clean, they clean because no one wants to eat in a dirty restaurant.
