Someone I follow stopped posting for a year or so. When he posted here again recently, it got downvoted automatically by a bot, including comments. There is poor stewardship of the value of the app when these flag wars are not countered. A whale could invest in an auto counter vote for downvotes not accompanied by explanations, or they could practice better oversight on their current quality control bots.

The whales stand to lose the most. Business sense would have them improve the appeal of the platform. My friend said he can post free content elsewhere and I haven't heard from him since.
