This place has devolved into a highschool. @berniesanders and @haejin having their little flag war, with markymark or whatever his name was as well, is all this platform is about.
@berniesanders cries about @haejin taking up ___% of the reward pool, and then cashes in on an even larger percent of it with his crybaby hall monitor posts.
Then, if you even DARE suggest as much, him and his gang of flag thugs/bots come along and down vote such criticism to oblivion, as I'm sure will be done to this post as well.
Time to power down, cash out, and find somewhere else to post. Steemit isn't the only crypto forum on the blockchain and frankly I'm sick of hearing them all bitch at one another as the "trending" posts. If that's what's trending, then that's all SteemIt is really about, and it's some serious high school bullshit. It's been real folks, see ya.
Don't leave Steemit if you want to participate in reading and sharing content @secondstar... just ignore and avoid the drama. This platform can work for you... if you focus on the positive aspects of it.
Following you and hope you stick around.
Appreciated, but it's pointless. Apparently them autoflagging my posts with a bot account is set up in retaliation for daring to challenge their absolute authority, what use is posting.
Eventually they will un-set the auto flag... because if you keep posting and it uses up the bots' vote power they'll be inefective, you're not the only one on the auto-flag list so it's not indefinite.
Continue to make good response posts as replies to prominent people's posts and if you continue to get auto-flagged on the good responses you make, people will clearly see that the bots are out of line and many will recognize the bots. The end result is that you-know-who will rack up even more bad publicity in the community.
You can of course, surrender, after all you've taken quite a beating and it's understandable, but just saying, if you choose not to give up, you can make a difference, however small. The key would be to remaining positive and constructive. This will all go away soon enough if you choose to stick around.
You're not the only one who suffered this exact same type of attack. If you quit the platform, they've won.
