They flagged a post from my daughter a couple weeks ago, this already pissed me off bigtime. Im starting to see steemit as it is, I had high hopes but looks like these people are just out to serve themselves. The experiment is a very clear way of seeying that, getting people excited for a brief period of time along with the recent P and D price manipulation and collusion is more than obvious. There will be other social media blockchains to look out for in the future and as far as Im concerned Im done here.
sorry to be negative this is just my personal opinion and the truth is Im going through a terrible time so maybe this is clouding my judgement but this is my way of expressing myself.

Wow...
like I said its been stated what the experiment does, if someone with over 700 MV upvotes something at full weight - smooth and abit downvote it accordingly.
And how does this help build @steemit? @acidyo
The whales with 700+ MV can only vote on a certain amount of posts per day - which means that the majority of people who don't get whale votes will get a lot lower payouts in comparison. It literally makes more users votes more value-able.
Most whales have respected it and started voting more often instead and with a lower % which means a wider distribution to more users. How does that NOT help build the platform?
Do you sincerely believe that a person looking to join & actively contribute to @steemit would waste their time with a preponderance of flag war posts? @acidyo
They will because instead of earning next to nothing on their posts they will actually see some rewards because the flagging experiment is actually evening out the rewards distribution for everyone. It's not aimed at people personally.
And how would a new person know that?
Is there any explainer post or video easily accessible?

As Medium monetizes, are there lessons for Steemit?
And how would a new person know that?
Perhaps they would explore the site. Perhaps they would read posts by other people explaining all of this. And in fact if monetary value is the be all and end all perhaps they would be happy to earn any amount of money.
Is there any explainer post or video easily accessible?
Yes. Yes there are, I have read a lot. It seems that you haven't. How can this be? Do you genuinely look around the site? I see you have 96% voting power. Do you find posts to read and vote on? I would encourage you to do so. It is by voting and interacting that this site will reach greater heights.
I was going to post an absurd number of links which don't relate to the subject matter at hand but didn't bother. However one thing I noticed from several of your links is the negative tone you adopt to the very platform you are using. Why is this? If you are so down on steemit why do you stay? Spreading positivity rather than FUD is far more desirable for others who join to see.
Now go on lad, get out there and shower the votes around. Use that voting power and see what magic happens!
And remember... BETA!!!
