RE: On content, flagging, upvoting, rewards and more... my frustrations with Steemit
Damn. I think the flagging rules were changed or something. I recall reading flags are only for spam, plagiarism etc, the usual things, now there aren't any rules. Flag ahead :/
Okay, I get it now, but why are we only looking at the biggest of them. Is haejin really taking up a considerable portion of the reward pool and aren't there actually more "unknown" dolphins whose content is of questionable value, but they cash in 150+ daily?
And damn, flagging seems bad - you waste your vote to invalidate someone elses vote. Isn't it better to simply upvote on the things you like?
I think it's all a mess.
Flagging is acceptable on "disagreement on rewards", so if you don't think someone earns the payout they are getting - it's ok to flag :)
Usually spam and plagiarism are being targetted of the flags, or the typical "I don't like what you are saying" but those are quite rare anyways.
Well at "worst" (or best?) haejin is currently making over $2500 per day with his posts - or more than that, when you take in consideration the SBD value.
In addition to this, haejins upvotes are around 75% self-upvotes AND what you asked about his share of reward pool. Using this tool ( https://steemworld.org/@haejin )to check the amount he is getting from the reward pool, currently it seems to be over 2% of the total reward pool.
Flagging is not only bad, you invalidate someone elses vote BUT this means others will get bigger share of the reward pool. Sometimes you can't only find things to upvote, while leaving the "playfield" for someone to get over 1/50th of the whole reward pool for themselves.
It's fucked up... that's why I think the system needs an overhaul.
Well I can't argue with that :D
