I agree! @jeezzle
But seriously, I have pondered this matter as well. I have tried flagging a few truly obnoxious spammers, but really, it's a poor use of my time. I'd rather upvote good content, but that is also getting harder to find as new users flood the feed with reposted youtube videos and copy/pasted articles.
I agree that upvoting good content is a much better use of time than downloading bad content but it really is hard these days with all of these terrible posts and comments that are nothing more than an attempt to gain a few cents here and there that add up to a few dollars at the expense of our time and our vote.
