My flag was to counteract the paid tipu vote. Not that it makes much difference. That sort of 'promotion' does not work except to get the attention of SFR.

I'm not flagging your poats where you are not buying votes.

You could update your post to clarify that @Jaguar.Force did not buy a vote.

ok, thank you for clarification. So I will use the Steemium service and it's ok. Thank you.

If that is another way to buy votes then you may still attract flags. It's just not a good way to go these days. I don't keep up with all the schemes, but I downvote based on my own checks or by those of people I trust.

but you can clearly see that they paid $14.59 usd and minnowvotes voted that post and then even steemflagrewards voted it . So maybe you can see why I am confused because what you are telling me and what is actually happening is 2 different things.

If someone else buys you a vote and there is no collusion then you should not be penalised. We do find cases where people conspire to do this and act accordingly. In general it should be up to the community to decide the value of your post. If you want to 'promote' it then decline the rewards.

jajajaja ok

you should be a politician, you are good
