Its like the real world, if you spew hatred you could loose out on it socially.In the case of steem it would be a monetary loss. I get what you are saying but my advice is don't sensor yourself!
This is a great platform for debate and discussion about all thoughts and opinions. If people like what they are reading they will upvote and you get paid. I think what you are talking about will become less of a problem as steemit gains more users and opinions.
You should also know that the way steemit is designed, the whales have diminishing power in the platform at a rate of 10% of every 5 years.
