You are brave to speak your truth in such uncompromising terms.

When first I came to Steemit I was excited by the possibility of a fair, encouraging and engaged platform.

Several months into my journey I see that Steemit is a microcosm of the world at large populated by good, bad and indifferent individuals.

My concerns pretty much mirror your list above.

Plus ~ what really grinds my gears are the people here who lap up my meaningful comments, upvotes and efforts to engage but never think to visit mine to share the love!

Oh well ~ we are all but human eh.
