Hey everyone,

I just want to put my opinion for how steemit is now and where it should Go. To me the site works fairly well but there are 2 BIG problems hindering it. 

1.) Get rid of flags and downvotes. There is a reason why sites like Youtube and Facebook got rid of things like the dislike button, all it does is frustrate people. Flags are designed, by nature, to piss people off. That is what they do. I appreciate what the experiment is doing and respect the users for putting themselves out there to try to help the site when they knew it would give them a lot of a flak from people. But the less tools available that will hurt people the better. And in order for this to work we need number 2.

2.) Flatten the voting curve. That will fix the site. Period. Give the power to the masses and watch the site grow. I can't stress this enough. This is what is holding the site back. 

That's it. Extra features will be nice, but I truly think if you fix those two things the site will be 'working' and we can grow from there.
