welcome to steemit ... we get a lot of messages from facebook and other social medias. In most cases after getting like the 100th message of the day our initial questions would be very critical and would love it if the person get to the point. replying to the question of "how are you ?" 100 times makes it extremely tiring.
So i guess in the case of he is not really writing about you but his experiences encountering individuals as yourself. Yes he wrote the article and was rewarded .. but that's how steemit works.... if people like what you wrote , then they have the power to reward him for it. like how this post is being rewarded .
I'm glad that you want to contribute back to society ... i do admire selfless individuals as such ... hope your journey on steemit is as enjoyable as mine ! cheers buddy .. cya in penang soon
