I think on any internet platform it is easy for people to be negative, just as many in real life blame their transgressions on the backs of the successful! I love steemit for that very reason. You see time and time again if people sharing there success stories. Post quality, post often and conversate often, and this will create success for you! Also, I really like the idea of having masked payout rewards. There would still be some payout stalking but it would take much more work. How do we bring this up to witnesses for a vote?
