I don't know what the creators were thinking about when they came up with flagging. It’s almost as if they wanted to simulate real world violence. Flagging wars ensue; it's an ugly aspect of the platform. It's like some kind of weird voodoo you take a dollar out of your pocket set it ablaze, and someone else's wallet starts on fire.

It basically brings out the worst in people. It also has that might makes right factor in it which discourages people from engaging in free form debate, or honest dialogue. Steemit is strange, and probably has kinks to be worked out in that regard.

I have a feeling though; because of the rampant censorship in Fakebook, Tweeter, and uTube that we'll be seeing a large influx of popular uTubers join Steemit. Allot of my favorite uTubers already have. The Sheeple come next, and with it they'll bring massive amounts of followers.

LOL imagine if pewdiepie joined, that would cause a redonkulous trend.

If Steemians worked hard on it, we could probably influence uTubers to first mirror their content here for added earning potential, and then they would naturally just stop posting at uTube out of disgust as they see their videos get demonetized day after day. Either that or they'd get their followers so interested in the platform that uTube would see a drop in numbers, which would directly equate to a drop in ad revenue.

Now that's an idea, flag uTube via a collective effort to convert Tubers to Steemians. It could be called the Steemit Challenge! So much potential!
