I agree completely! As a new user I was excited to see what steemit had to offer. I recently started posting regular original content and after less than a week i have had my reputation destroyed by a whale who flagged everything I have posted including comments, simply for liking my own posts (which I have now learned is a big no no). It's now so low I cannot even post any more content to try and claw myself back from the dead. I have no choice but to start a new account or simply leave which is sad :(
