People will do anything and everything for personal gain, so long as they are not ostracized for it. I Think of steemit as the wild west, there is little accountability and even less incentive to play fair, so why would you? Calling people on their bullshit is usually the best way to get them to stop, no pressure like peer pressure. Long term this is the force that brings people into line an probably sorts out the issues you presented in your video. It is also the force that brings about PC speech, safe spaces, and YouTube's adpocalypse, so pick your poison.
