I believe it's not "steemit" as a community that is at fault but what seems to be wrong is that there are bunch of groups of people controlling the entire community and they're trying to push people to act in certain way but they're not bold enough to have any form of transparency. They're trying people to somehow telepathically understand this. Well let's see when this madness will end and when people will get credited for their honest and genuine efforts. Till then don't stop looking elsewhere :)
