RE: Why are some of my posts greyed out?

I don't get the point of downvoting at all. I guess I downvoted yours in response to feeling unfairly targeted. Sort of a tit-for-tat reaction and I'm sorry for that. I am a human being afterall. Here's the thing. From what I understand Steemit gives REWARDS; incentives for posts. So somehow my post didn't qualify based on your opinion. I don't understand how one person has that much control over content...that's not right. I've seen dozens of seemingly lame posts, in my opinion, that have tons of engagement, tons of votes and tons of dollars. I may not like the content but who am I to judge? If people benefit from it, that's great. That is the point, right? On the 'about' page it's header reads Steem is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards.

If a post isn't to my liking I just skip by it and look at the ones that are interesting to me. If my posts bothered you then just ignore it. It wasn't generating any interest anyway. It was merely a test. People are not targets in a video game. Think of people more like chess peices. Think carefully, contemplate your next move before taking action. Keep yourself in check and stop with the trigger-finger please. :-) I will unflag yours. You decide what you want to do but my choice is to help make this a welcoming, positive community for all.
