I understand your grievance. Steemit is not a new site. It's a blogging site remember? Why not take those news articles and write about them and give your opinion? With your experience an advertisement business making memes might be a nice thing for you, you are perhaps really talented at them. I wouldn't as a new person or someone that just merely runs a bot on steemit take on or flag people with greater voting power or reputation or even years of experience. That was a smart and good move going to steemcleaners and talkin to them to find solutions. So you've made it to Steemit! Welcome! Some things I've noticed people don't mention too often that could have helped me early on in my Steemit adventures are:
https://Steemworld.org/@krawller
-a (nearly) complete interactive page that gives you a better overall experience and overview of what is really happening on your steem page.
- Steemengine, the followers I have gained from it is unreal! I gained 225 just in the past five days. If you want you can use my referral link above not required though...

I have been having fun using https://www.decentmemes.com to create memes for the steemit blockchain. It's a smaller version of the bigger guys meme site. I have received a lot of organic upvotes large and small from this site. I invite you to try and make some memes! It connects via steemconnect to your steemit account. You make your memes there and then it posts to your page
These are some uncommon things I wish I was made aware of early on when I first joined! I wish you the best and much success here helping us all grow this amazing platform!
