Even this virtual world is a part of it. Seeing as they destroy the morals of the society through the immoral use of steem power (Achilles 'Heal). Giving those with the most more social power. Societies as a part of there fundamental make up limit the powerful in favor of the less powerful, for the comity, peace, and security of the whole.

I'd say money corrupts, Period. The system of monetary reward for posting is IMHO already corrupting honesty and integrity. The small fish suck up to the powerful ones to get rewarded with a nickel.
But it appears as if most of the guys in the "conspiracy" crowd here on steemit are not in for the money but because of the opportunity to exercise uncensored, free speech, which is why I am here. But even here one can observe quite a bit of butt kissing...
The butt kissing is the evidence of corruption to my mind.
I note that the pandering you refer to isn't caused by rewards, but by stake-weighting. The suckups suckup to phat wallets, because they hope for phat updoots.
