Flags are just as important for deciding how much the public as a whole agrees that a post is valuable as upvotes. It's not violence, nor is it very often a personal thing. I use flags every single day. Of my 10 full power votes per day, at least 2 of them are Downvotes. The original Steem Whitepaper explained all this very clearly, but it was quickly swept under the rug, because people only want to think of **getting** money, not that money balancing out when someone disagrees. The *potential* payout for a post is called that for a reason, and there's absolutely no reason why it should always go *up*. That number should be hidden until a post pays out, letting votes and flags fall where they will until the algorithm finally determines how valuable the post is.

The algorithm is this: 39 whales have 93% of SP. They have all the power, as a result. We don't matter to them. We can police ourselves with out little flags. If we start taking too much money from the rewards pool, they can fix that. That rewards pool belongs to them. We are allowed a little, so that we will create upwards pressure on the price of Steem. The entire user base is necessary for that, but no individual is. @haejin started dipping into their pockets too deeply. @berniesanders put that money back in his pocket. Problem solved.

You replied to my comment, but not my point. You seem to be so hung up on the "stake gap", that you, like many others, are completely disregarding the way this platform was intended to be used. What other people do should have no affect on integrity.

>"What other people do should have no affect on integrity." I believe my history on here indicates my agreement with that statement more than any words I speak. As to the way this platform was intended to be used, again, I refer you to the actions of those that control the platform, as better indicators of their intentions than mere words. I replied as I did, because I believe what I said substantively addresses your point. What I hope you understood me to say was that the market for Steemit is 39 whales, at present. The market is served to the best ability of the devs of Stinc, and what Steemit is today is the best they can do to serve that market. Words can be better at hiding things than they are at revealing things, sometimes. Actions, not so much.
