Excitedly I hit trending to throw my miniscule flag weight around. I want to add that I'm inspired to hold SP now if only to have more powerful flagging. I think this speaks more to my sociopath tendencies than the economic incentives but that's for my other personalities to decide.
Speaking of incentives I'd like to point out that one of my most famous muters the consensus witness bid bot owning realwolf in sheep clothing has successfully used his own services for a 44 dollar vote on a very average post about WOW and HF21.. Lo and behold this prized steem politician has received zero flags! In fact his cronies upvoted this crap that in my opinion adds little to no value to anyone but himself and the already fat curators
is this new steem yet?
Deflated but in no way surprised I skipped over to see what haejin the reward rapist was up to. I have not kept up with his account in ages for obvious reasons but I see that he is now spamming the chain on the hour with his bullshit charts.. I assume this is a new strategy to overwhelm any potential flaggers with sheer shitpost volume and he will pick at random posts to boost on the 6th day.. In fact I'm sure many of the wankers are doing this. I saw only one flag from one brave soul but this single flagger will not magically curb such a beasts appetite for destruction.
Is that new steem?
I'll get back to my hunt but I'm not sure I'll like what I see, and what I think we really need is everyone to reevaluate their witness votes and align together in mass to focus on full time flagging.. I'm not hopeful either will happen so thus far my preliminary views are a big fat fail. Not that I expected this to change anything overnight. My reality is that steem is a fantastic currency,there are a minority of interesting,intelligent,innovative ends users and devs but as a dapp our monetized social media doesn't offer the average person much of anything. It still offers the normal non user out there on big internet and fiat basically nothing.
So looks like its back to SMTs are our only hope and maybe we will evolve into a decentralised wordpress or something unforeseen before we get too close to the big fat zero..
Go flag a consensus witness politician double speaker that never says anything worthwhile...
