RE: Flag This, Motherfuckers – A Newbie's Perspective on The Experiment
Its a pretty common theme and I cant count the number of times I have been hit. Its all automated and it happens if the bots they employ notice your post getting more like from whales or others with more influence. Its a way for them to protect their own interests and make sure no one gains as much influence as easily as they did. Consider it a badge of honor and welcome to the club!
The automation is exactly what pisses me off about this. It's one thing to be flagged because someone dislikes what I post – fine, whatever. But to be flagged automatically as part of some dumbass internal political dispute because some other person or set of people liked my post is ridiculous.
Yep its an experiment on a social media platform without consideration for the social aspect. It actually has some major flaws that I see being exploited by other smaller savvy whales. Think of it as Judo and a way of misdirecting the automation that will force it to come to a head very soon. Unfortunately many that do not deserve to be down voted will in order to make everyone aware of the issue and its negative psychological and social impact.
