The rules need to be changed, I've haven't flagged anyone lateley, so I didn't know flagging to remove profits was listed. This rule can and is used unfairly. I've read many post that whales have an unfair power regarding curation because of their sp power. That'll have to be addressed as well, which is I think the core issue here. So power does not equate wisdom or knowledge, flagging and upvoting are so emotional. Curie was created to help and inspire newbies, they helped me and the trending page wasn't such a downer. Seeing the same top trending posts does not make me feel helpless or uninspired but seeing heavily weighted votes does curb my voice as I do not want to post things whales may not like, which kinda pisses me off, I feel controlled...controls curb my creativity.

Yeah I stopped paying attention to the Trending page within a month of joining. I joined in July. I simply write about what I feel like writing, what I am inspired to write. If it does well great, if it doesn't no problem. Trying to guess and post what will earn me more was not FUN. I'd rather simply be who I am and write about what I feel like writing about. I enjoy that a lot. I actually haven't been subjectively down voted for the reasons in this post. I've seen it happen many times and have been very outspoken against it. "It's my vote I can vote how I want" This is true... "It's my mouth I can be an asshole if I want" is also true...

If everyone's vote was weighted the same there would be no issue. I'm not smart enough to figure that problem out, especially when one owns many accounts and bots. When popularity and currency are involved in judging others all sorts of demons pop up and cause all sorts of problems. People worked hard or spent their hard earned money to power up. They should be able to do as they wish when buying or selling their coin. But when regulating a system, emotions and bias are never fair or logical from what ive seen in this world of desire. I think freedom has its consequences though. Just because one is free to do as one wishes does not protect one from the cause and effect of ones actions. I happen to enjoy assholes, but I'm not a dog so I'm not going to sniff your asshole.....lololol. Everytime someone mentions they are an asshole I think of how dogs sniff each other's butt when greeting each other.

I agree. I am trying to think of answers. I just posted a blog about one possible way to address it. I don't think it'll do much, but it could influence some people, and maybe change some people's minds. I don't believe people that put their own interest first in front of the platform should be witnesses. They can be focused on their own interest, that is fine, but witnesses should be a witness because they support the platform and will do whatever they can to grow it, not harm it. Voting "*however I like*" is not exactly the best action of someone who is supposed to represent the platform.
