Yeah its a problem for sure. In my opinion the greatest problem with this DV thing becomes when racism and threats of violence is totally ok but anti-government content that is directed towards centralized people like gates or harmful untested medical procedures that is purely experimental gotta go? We really do have pro fiat pro government whales, racist witnesses and wanna be cosmic jesters but having our activist celebrity like accounts being fake or inactive doesn't help either.

Silence by witnesses or DV by witnesses that have the support of the community while the community ignores the witnesses actions is pretty concerning and a gross form of governance when the people want a phatty upvote and will be willing to keep their mouth shut for one... kind of like at work.

I am quite surprised to see @theycallmedan and his response to DVs. I always thought he was a counter to the flags but I guess not when you need votes to get a proposal passed and the people that have them are the flaggers allegedly. Now maybe he has been too busy building speak network to notice but the flags are happening in one of threespeaks main communities. I knew of @threespeak way before joining Steem in '17 because they supported a few of my favorite content creator on youztube.

Just weird that the community supports projects by people who are so hostile and seemingly pro fiat the way they down vote the kind of content they do. Its actually quite gross and alarming that such large stake is used to support the oppression of content that goes against centralization and fiat.
