In my experience since July - this is one of the most supportive online communities I've ever been a part of. Its usually the users who try & scam the system that see any kind of backlash. Compared to other popular sites such as Facebook or Reddit - Steemit stands far above by almost no comparison in my opinion.

I am not talking about making money. The pedos have followed us here.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Show me a place on the internet where there's no shills

on any of the groups I run (on FB), but yeah they are everywhere

So you have a shilldar of sorts, I get it.

It's easy to think someone else is a shill when they have a different opinion.
You couldn't keep a group free of shills even if you were one yourself and you
may actually be exposing yourself more by thinking you'll be able to recognize them.

I don't think there would be more shills in a place where there is profit as opposed to a place that's uncensored without any rewards. Because the people posting with censorship protection who don't need/want rewards may be the ones who believe more strongly on their own message. They may want to make it a point that they are not profitting from their message to give credibility to their words, and shills love to go after credibility.

It's real easy for a shill to operate here, all they have to say is you're posting for the money to try to discret you.
