@meesterboom, this gets down to the core nature of any place that offers "rewards," no matter what they may be. There will always be a share of "money for nothing seekers" whose primary objective is "exploiting the system" rather than simply "using" it as it was originally created.

Project originators often follow great ideologies... but unless they also have 6-year degrees in human psychology, they tend to underestimate such factors as "human greed" and the desire to "get something for nothing."

Of course, Steemit is also a "personal blog site," so someone writing a post called "What I learned during my first two weeks on Steemit" is really just telling a personal story... which is different from holding oneself up as a definitive "expert" on Steemit after two weeks. Story vs deception.
