The good thing about steemit is, you can be flagged, downvoted, or maybe in some cases being criticised in the comments section, say the 'Synereo AMP' episode few weeks ago. But end of the day, Hive account@stellabelle will still be able to post whatever she wants, so long as your reputation doesn't take a very strong hit, to the extent you will not be able to post anything here on Steemit. I remembered the time when reputation level was just introduced and some Steemians even received negative reputation. I'm not sure if this is still in place, but yea, that was quite a nightmare for guys who shares a different mindset from the 'general public'.

I may not agree with most of the post Steemians post here, but as of now I do not see much posts that deserves to be down-voted. As for Hive account@masteryoda case, its very simple that there're people feeling you're overpaid for the posts. But you have your set of fans, like myself. In the real world, Taylor Swift's concert tickets are too damn expensive as well to many people, but the concerts are sold out anyway. A similar case here, I feel that Hive account@masteryoda should continue the daily postings, and not be affected just because someone says that, 'your daily reports is just too expensive to read!'.

I'm more of a person who enjoys reading and listening, compared to myself talking or sharing, so if there needs to be a cap on what authors can earn on this case, then this situation will only be a precedent to what can happen in future to other quality posts that whales feel that is 'overpaid'. If the cap happens, or if Hive account@masteryoda stops posting after this episode, I guess its a step backwards for Steemit.
