Flagging this post because even though my downvote doesn't really make much of a difference, I don't think your content deserves to be trending every day. It's borderline content at best.... there's no reason your every post should be over $1k and guaranteed trending, especially given the frequency of your posts. There are a lot of authors out here struggling to make a buck when their contributions are far better than this.
While I don't agree with using the flag feature for anything that doesn't violate community standards (plagiarism, spamming, etc.) I completely agree with your sentiment. I've read several msgivings articles because they always seem to trend. I've never walked away impressed. In fact, I found yesterday's article kind of offensive. She seemed to suggest that women ought to change who they are in order to keep men from cheating... as if the man isn't really to blame.
I'm new to steemit and the post from yesterday was the very first thing I read. I was disappointed to see such blatant misogyny at the top of the feed, but not surprised.
What's really disheartening is how many people seem to think these posts are quality; I guess because they reinforce their own notions. But looking at OP's other posts, they advocate for the most toxic, unhealthy relationships, that any relationship counsoler would criticize.
I read that post too and honestly my first though was, 'this was written by a man!'. It's hard to imagine such misogyny being espoused by a woman.
Community standards can include not 'milking' or not having an imbalance where one person or type of content is generally crowding out others. It is subjective whether that is happening but there is nothing wrong with seeing it as a platform problem the same way we see spam, plagiarism, etc. as platform problems. Neither those nor any other types of types of 'abuse' or 'flag-worthy' posts are defined on a list by a central party; everyone is a moderator and it is up to the user base to decide what is good and what is bad.
I agree. I just changed my early upvote to a flag instead.
I agree that it is and should be up to the users rather than a central moderator. And I do understand the point you're making.
I guess everyone has a different "breaking point" with what they see as bad content or content that's bad for the platform. I haven't quite reached that point with msgivings.
