Another voice from the community that people need to hear. I want to promote this message and get it rewarded. 100% of the total STEEM, SP and SBD will be transferred to @williambanks after payout.
Upvoting, resteeming and if I had the funds to promote this I would.
Guys here's the truth.
If you have enough power that your flag or vote matters it means you have invested money in steem.
Each time you flag over rewards you are devalueing not only that post but your own investment as well.
Why? Because it's demoralizing to the people who are on the receiving end of that. They give up, they leave if they have any steem they are going to dump it and they are going to let their friends know. "Hey guys be careful over at steemit, there are individuals who like to power trip and it's worse than a power hungry redditor because it costs real money".
This keeps people away. It makes the entire platform unattractive and unpalatable. With no one coming to steemit no one is going to buy steem. The bottom will drop out and your currency will be worthless.
All you have to do is UPVOTE CONTENT YOU THINK IS WORTHY.
Don't be a petty douchebag just because it's easier. Seek out content you like and upvote it. Quit worrying about what the other guy is earning, frankly it's none of your business.
