Money is the issue and on Steem it’s easy to make money. And there is nothing preventing you from gaming the system, no real police even if steemcleaners are doing hardwork, payout value is what decides of quality that drives posts into trending, no one is bothered downvoting.

yeah, i've been told that we need a separate flag/ downvote structure in steem so that it doesn't suck VP or endanger our reputation out of backlash/spite.
it really bothers me that some people can post an unoriginal meme or video, a two minute post that makes more money than a person who spends 15 minutes creating a post with original art and essay.
