But if they are already flagged into oblivion what would be different after the hf?
If an whale is now already flagging because of different opinions he will still flag after the hf and having free flags doesn't make any difference because the whale flags are not limited by the potential cost because he wouldn't flag now if it would mean anything to him. So there will be no difference after the hf. The whale will still flag every post he doesn't like but I don't think that he will flag more posts because he already flags everything he doesn't like.
So you see there is no difference.
