Alright...let me do this as it could be easier to grab and perhaps add a little fun.

Steemit values = Authenticity + Organic Engagement(not forced) + Quality content + Fun

Where "not forced" = 1

Well, I can understand the frustration of getting some of these during your team's curation.

I am still positive that someday.., these things will be fixed. Interestingly, some great authors still hold on to this etiquettes.

Let's push this a little further...

Values are often defined in order to understand an organisation's culture... and culture is best demonstrated by an organisation's leadership. If we say that Steemit's leadership is the witnesses appointed by us, how many of the Top 20 witnesses (you don't have to name them) demonstrate the values that you've stated?

That's right..

Whilst I appreciate and respect witnesses for validating transactions et al on the platform , it looks like only a small number of the top 20 witnesses keep to the principles that I described in my previous comment... maybe 5 out of 20...

However, even among these 5, there are some variations on how they are upholding these values.

That feels about right (or maybe a little generous 😆)... and underlines the problem that we have as community members who want something different. Everybody wants something different - of the other 15, some run voting bots... some use those voting bot delegations to self-vote. When the "leadership" act that way, why would a newcomer see what we do and say "that's how I'll behave too". If there's selfish behaviour at the top, then everybody else sees that and before we know it, we have a platform of people serving their own interests to the detriment of the system itself. We're lucky that there's still enough of us left to keep things interesting but I've said this a few times lately - the small group is getting frighteningly small.

I understand this fully. The sad part is that, most of these people have seen this, have been alerted about this by some users who have the guts to dare when it comes to the truth..., but still, it doesn't bothers them.

It's a big problem that is almost not possible to solve here.
