As a newcomer to Steemit, I had to force myself to learn more about Steemit. Whether it's from the Community Steemit Indonesia (KSI) or read the FAQs page. We know that, on the steemit platform we are rewarded for the content we make, if our content is interesting, then others who will upvote, if anyone does not like our writing, whatever the underlying reason, it will be downvote.
Well, the effect of upvote and downvote is very dependent on Steem Power (SP) owned by someone. Recently the flagging case of a post is being trending in Steemit. For example post @ michelle.gent is downvote to $ 0.00. Then other posts appear to explain about this Flagging, there are pros, there is a cons. Each has a logical reason that they believe. Reading a view that covers two sides is better than just from one side, then I find the article "If You Accept the Upvotes, You Really Need to Accept the Downvotes". Try to read if there is free time.
Here are some terms in the Steemit platform along with a short explanation based on my search results and learning about Steemit.
Steem - Digital currency, just like Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is generated by minning (mined), then steem is generated from algorithms generated in Blockchain Steemit. Then Blockchain is what kind of creature ???
Like this, we use the Internet to send e-mail, well Blockchain here play the role of internet, while Bitcoin and Steem like e-mail. Approximately So.
Steem Power (SP) - The magnitude of the influence / greatness of a Steemian. The larger a person's SP, the greater the influence and rewards it will gain, either when upvote, downvote, or post. This Steem Power can be traded. The point is, the bigger one's SP, the upvote effect, the larger _downvote_nya.
Upvote - This signifies others like your content and then rewards it with rewards.
Downvote - The opposite of Upvote, our posts can be downvoted if considered plagiarism, not liked by others whose SP is big and influential.
Flagging - This means that the content is not liked and the impact on the rewards we receive, if before the flag _rewards_nya a lot, with Steem Power owned by someone, then do flagging, in an instant rewards to $ 0.00 back as an explanation at the beginning of the article above .
Formerly from my Friends Steemian, With great power come great responsibility, more wise better. Regards.
