I've got mixed opinions on this. The reward pools HAS to be distributed, and I think people are more concerned with where it is going and if that person is withdrawing funds out of the network in a way that doesn't promote the blockchain.

While we all agree that it is your personal stake and you can do what you wish with it, its also the idea of "if all the free range cattle live on my land, I can slaughter as much as I want". Theres a point where you are doing a disservice to the community.

Thats where flagging comes in and plays a major role in controlling people who are doing something that's unproductive to the community.

take @haejin for example. Do you think his content is worth the amount that people upvote him with?

Perhaps to some, but not all. Regardless, he is making a KILLING in terms of steem, but thats the same reason why the finance market (in real life) makes the most amount of money. But the real question is does he add value to the platform at the rate he was earning?

That's the main debate.
