It all depends on how you see steemit really. Some people don't like to see others doing well if they don't agree with how htey are going about it. When i joined there was a massive war over a certain user posting the same shit 10 times a day and self voting it to a hundred dollars every time.

There are two arguments to this. First that the user was raping the reward pool. He shit posted 10 times every day and voted himself every time and nobody else. He never replied to comments and cared for nobody else except himself and his actions were only damaging steem and it's users.

Opinion two was that the users held a certain amount of steem and was therefore entitled to use it in whatever way he saw fit. The whole point of the system is that there was no single body in control and it was up to the users to rule by themselves.

It's all perception.
