if the market doesn’t like that the market will leave steam it dead and abandoned.

I agree 100%. A lot of folks don’t realize this and think of Steemit as an involuntary association of people, like in a country. But you are right. This is why using flags must be done carefully (if at all), in my opinion, by each individual market actor. Flagging should only be done in the best interest of the platform. Otherwise the market may go elsewhere.

Thanks for the excellent commentary.
