first of all you seems raging about some ideas , not about the problem . The problem is how people can find content in steemit. They can see only if post got a lot of money . So if some whale always upvote only 1-2 person and circle jerk , then new people see only this trending posts . Thats why im against circle jerk and hope steemit will lower curation reward for same person upvote and make higher for upvotes of new authors. Yes i know what bernie and transisto earn some money and witnesses votes through this flags, but at least they made this problem visible , so circle jerkers some got hurt and may be team steem will work on problem, If he didnt attack people will just abuse same strategy again and again.
