RE: There is no longer any point to my doing anything here
I'd like to think I was one of them. I bet you are, too.
This is why I need to put all my energy into replacing steem/steemit with an HONEST alternative that is appropriately transparent.
Probably this alternative will not have a "flag" option. Please get in touch if you have suggestions about this.

The foundational concept around here is really strong.
I cannot say the same for Steemit, Inc and its lackeys.
As you can read in my transparent agoric routing post there is no voting in Dawn. You download content, and the network certifies that you did, and pays everyone who made it happen, in descending, halving order from creator, to carrier (deliverer), to consumer (curator) to intermediary (makes sure you are not trying to save bandwidth by delivering it to yourself) to the validator, who then issues the tokens... And if you download the content again, nobody gets paid (it should be cached in your system anyway). If you download content you created, you don't get paid. If you download content with a frequent business partner, you get paid less depending on how much business you did with them.
Still working on perfecting my RPS consensus protocol, but I think it's holes are fairly small.
There is no voting, because voting creates the illusion that voting matters. Freedom matters. No freedom here.
It is also just an opinion. The delivery of content is something that qualifies in legal terminology as a Fact. Opinions don't matter, in a court, except for the Judge. At least, in theory.
Note that it was a central thrust of the development of Equity Jurisprudence to take even that power out of the hands of a judge. If the facts did not produce the judgement, it could be overruled by another judge who did adhere to the rules. This goes way back, by the way, to ancient, pre monarchic judaism.
