I had to stop reading midway through because this comes off as a massive strawman:
I have been on Steemit for a few weeks and I can’t help but notice that many members act very much like a cult and not as individuals.
Who are these members? Give us some context. I'm not saying your wrong, rather because the members you describe are wrong as presented by you it's hard to believe they exist or if there is a lack of context to what they really mean.

I thought the "vigilante" reference was pretty clear. There 4-5 celebrities that generate all the traffic.
Yes, but you are not quoting things they have said, rather summarizing and making assertions, with a dab of snarkiness, so it's not clear you are directly engaging the "4-5 celebrities" but rather composing a strawman to knock down and look like you are actually debating anything they've said.
