I'm simply warning that the goose that laid the golden egg is going to be killed slowly by the flag. And your response is to "go back there" (to facebook). You are all sitting on the edge of greatness. I am not crying for myself, except that I would like to become successful on Steemit, but for everyone here to have the potential to be very successful. Don't get me wrong. Steemit is poised for greatness. Yet it has a flaw. I think the flag is its Achilles heel. If the platform grows we all benefit. I want to thrive here. I don't want to leave. Look at my blog. I am doing my best to be a good content author and posting every day. This is all we should be thinking about as members. Producing good content without the worry your hours of hard work will be rendered impotent before you have a chance at that 30 second window of (real) exposure that you get here.

You are correct about one thing; Facts are facts, and they don't care about your feelings. 

If the flag were gone I would consider investing. But not as it currently stands.

You do understand that there is a limited amount of Steem and once it is gone it's gone. 

That means if the flag was gone people who had the money to buy votes into the $1,000's every day would drain the reward pool that is supposed to make things good for everyone down the road. 

Users like Jerry would just suck the entire pool empty and there would be no earning for any content creators. Flags were put into effect for community protection, not as punishment. Yes, there may be a few who flag out of spite but over all the flags are the only reason steemit is still paying new users anything at all. 

No Flags = No Payout for anyone

Then it is the DAPPs the need to go? 

They are the villains here?

If so, then why should we all suffer the flag when the problem is a technical one.

Because if there is no flag, assholes like @jerrybanfield will drive their post to over $1,000's all while conning the sheep. The flag is and always will be needed for community protection.

Unless a flag causes a post, thought, idea or any other type of post to disappear from the platform they are not censorship, they are needed.

Can you link me to a post you have done that is an actual post? I looked and it looks like a bunch of truth meme's and short tweet type post. Do you have any real post or stories? I am not trying to be mean, just trying to see what you offer.

The blockchain was made to have DAPP's built on them, that is its purpose. I don't understand them fully but I do know that is one of the selling points for investors is the ability to build and host them on the chain.

We can only get rid of the flag if we get rid of dishonest people.
