''How did i get picked as the lucky one?''
A number of reasons:
1 You are being put through a process of normalizing abusing your fellow account holders without questioning your actions.

2 While you were ingratiating yourself to @themarkymark by trivializing his obvious abuse. I was actually doing something in terms of challenging the many abuses which at time included an insane amount of abusive spam from the @berniesanders group of accounts.
within a few weeks of opening my @joe.public account i noticed that @themarkymark was never far away from the berniesanders abuse and he was running cover along with a few other. So while I was spamming the spam I included mentioning the support @themarkymark was giving to the abuse.

3 You were extremely bad mannered.

4 You are the first civilian who has given me the gift of a Red Flag the rest have been directly for ether the @berniesanders group of accounts and the @themarkymark group of accounts with the exception of the one flag received from @enforcer48 while conditioning you into fulfilling your new role as useful idiot.

''The price is coming back, that tells me we must be doing something right.''
Do you seriously believe that the recent price increase is due to new investment that has arisen because more people are being driven off the platform due to abuse? Don't be so ridiculous

The rest is of your comment was unintelligible.
Its not me that produces endless copy past post with some commentary thrown in or the continually recycled boring memes for the last three or more years.

I have been putting effort into changing the amount of abuse not sucking up to the abusers and trivializing it like yourself.

I only post when i have something to say. unlike yourself who has nothing to say but you keep pumping out the same crap every day.

Edit

What is happening here on Steemit is the same process that goes on in the real world.
