Wow. Sounds like you've had one hell of a week. Steemit definitely isn't like Facebook or YouTube where you can just flame someone for the hell of it and walk away. Among others things I've noticed is here you have to be concerned about REPUTATION if you want your account to grow. To that end it pays to write intelligent articles and comments...and yes even intelligent rants such as yours. If all you do is post spam, trash, and throw dirt at good people like a monkey flinging feces, that ain't going to cut it here. It may make you a YouTube hero, but not a Steemit hero.
Great rant along with some good thoughts. Hope your week gets better!
