For sure! HF19 didn't help any of this, it kinda made the problem worse. The false narrative put out by many people in comments is becoming a drain on the community interaction part of Steemit. There is a bigger issue with this at play, and yet people want to complain about why we upvote ourselves. We have to believe in and support "ourselves", if nobody else will. something I have discussed a lot about with Fuzzy lately.
