This sums up most people that try to take advantage of others for their own gain

and generally act like fucktards

Well I've experienced it myself where I called out someone's bad behaviour in a work environment and exactly what you described took place - I was targeted because I was the one who had the balls to question someone in a higher level than myself. That boils down to integrity. They were lacking it and so were all the other people that were witness to what they were doing wrong and chose to be silent to simply avoid being targeted even though it was broadly discussed.

I don't like it when people would rather sponge off others because they are too lazy to actually work at something and put in the effort. So yes, it's true of Hive but it's true of the whole world. I tell you in University I came across so many who would shirk their responsibilities in team projects only to reap the benefits from the few who ended up doing the entire load. It's bullshit. I made that known. I got into shit the one day because I typed my "team" member's name so small on the project cover that the lecturer overlooked it entirely and the girl got a big fat zero. I'm evil, I know. But not without it being deserved.

There are entire cultures built on this bullshit and eventually they will all get their comeuppance through those that are sick and tired of it.
