RE: Suggestions on how we can improve Steem.
Really? But, why am I even surprised? Greed, money, what other motivator would there be in this world?
I love when stuff is marketed under the guise of doing "good" and providing a service/helping people. That makes it twice as bad. Few people have or take the time to do that kind of research. I guess that is what people bank on when they exploit others. Propaganda is a powerful tool.
I wonder (out loud) how long it will take for you to be banned and blacklisted. It has to be coming, right?
I hope something changes. Maybe I am naive. Maybe I am foolish. I still hope.

Yeah, I try to "follow the rules" to the best of my ability (I upvote a lot of low rep accounts, I'll have to see if I can get an "official" ruling on that). When you read the "appeals" you see people getting downvoted for stuff like saying "veganism made me sick" and for posting-public domain images without attribution-links and for making "low-effort-posts" like posting pictures of their dog.
Well, up to this point, the downvoters still appear to believe they're "reasonable" so I try to reason with them.
I believe declining payouts also gives me some "cover" (but not immunity).
On my very first encounter with steemcleaners (https://steemit.com/dtube/@logiczombie/u29hqt3h5bv) when I asked them why the heck "the original author" (me) would care if anyone re-posted their stuff they told me "why don't you just decline-payouts?" which struck me as odd, I didn't even know what they were talking about! That post only earned 0.04 steem anyway and it was only my 4th post evar! I didn't know what a "discord" was, I didn't know what "rules" I'd "broken", I didn't know who "steemcleaners" was or how the rep system worked.
