I don't get why you would flag an account that helps out everybody, and then you upvote your own comment? Be careful my friend because you're definitely leaning more towards the abusive side. It would be a bummer to see an article written by @sherlockholmes about you...

Because I don't think it's helping anybody in the long run.
I vote my comment to 1-3% to rank it higher, You think I'm doing that for the reward?

Well yeah, I do. Your 1% upvote gets you more than $1.00 so to pretend that that doesn't add up over time would be a gigantic lie. You don't care that people LOVE the $0.01 upvotes that minnowpond gives out for free and you take $1.00 for granted. Try to think about the little guys, and who you're screwing over next time you flag people... You don't think $1.00 is a lot, whereas, everybody following MinnowPond thinks $0.01 is a lot.
If you don't agree with what MinnowPond is doing (which is unclear at this point; It seems you got caught up in semantics instead of what MP actualy does for people), then perhaps you should start your own service helping out minnows, instead of flagging their support away!

Minnowpond isn't giving 0.01$ but closer to 0.0001$ and it's not doing it for free, It's polluting the comment section / blockchain and begging people for support.
Minnow is a diminutive term I'm not fond of, I up-voted you, if that's what you mean.

You’re right that Minnow is a somewhat derogatory term, I’ll give you that. What I suggest is that Minnow Pond, when they comment, they say “To opt out of these comments, reply STOP”. This would cut down on the pollution you speak of. With that being said, all these people out there with zero Upvotes and zero Followers probably don’t mind their comments 😏
