Questioning Steemit

I will get straight to my point. I am literally APPALLED at the extent I've already seen here on Steemit in terms of corruption, bullying, and the same disgusting profiteering that we already face in regular society, and I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing here.
I'm still really wet behind the ears when it comes to Steemit, so I have yet to find 'my tribe' as it were, but we're ALL here because of someone else. Someone who let us in on what was hyped up as an incredible new platform in which our voices could be heard and not shushed. I was lead here by Hive account@lyndsaybowes. She is ALREADY part of my tribe, which by extension means Hive account@hendrix22 is as well. And I'm seriously pissed off that Hive account@hendrix22 is beong fucked with right now.
Again, I'm new. I have yet to leap into the pool and see for myself who are amazing bloggers, who has info to teach me, who has kind words for noobies, but I have already witnessed the disgusting power trip of one Hive account@haejin and how he has done everything he can to discredit and shush Hive account@hendrix22. EVERY SINGLE POST from Hive account@hendrix22 in the past week+ has been pretty much shutdown. Yes, they exist because we all know that nothing can be deleted here, but apparently what is happening to Hive account@hendrix22 can happen to any of us if other people are on power trips!

WTAF

I was truly under the naive impression that Steemit was a platform in which we, the underprivileged, would come together and SUPPORT EACH OTHER to better all societies, and better the world. What Hive account@haejin is doing to Hive account@hendrix22 is the exact opposite. It is my opinion that anyone here can 'blog' about pretty much any and every subject under the sun, but upon reading Hive account@haejin's posts, I too feel the same way as Hive account@hendrix22. I'm very confused as to why someone who seems to put in the same 2 images, or ones so similiar they are hard to distinquish between. He talks of fluctuating markets and 'guesses' where stock is or where it may end up? And he posts just about every 2 hours. Nothing big. Nothing that takes ANY THOUGHT. Go work on Wall Street if you think that hourly updates of an ever-fluctuating market will really do anyone any good. But he consistently makes upwards of $200, $300, even $400 PER POST.
While a noobie like me (I don't think I even qualify as a minnow yet) gets completely ignored or gets pennies from peoples' votes. I'm not getting support from Whales like Hive account@haejin, who is interested in attracting more followers, more leaders for Steemit, and a more enriching community experience here. Just like the corruption of our leaders in 'The Free World', they are only interested in lining their own pockets and fuck the genuine people who truly care about humanity as a whole.
Lucky for me, I could give a SHIT about money, or greed. I've lived on NOTHING for most of my life and I'M STILL HERE, MOTHERFUCKERS. See, the one thing about me, once you're part of MY Tribe is that I fight for what I believe in.
Unfortunately being such a noobie, I don't think this post will be viewed very much.
But hopefully Hive account@hendrix22 and Hive account@lyndsaybowes will see that they do have one more, good-hearted person fighting in their corner here. Won't you join us?
