From my days in 2017 in steem chat two ( a private chat for the whales and a lot of the pll now doing it) they were very aware. I’ve heard other reports from discord groups too. They actively would vote one another and didn’t give a shit about new people making it. They would infact actively flag new people to 1 rep and take all their payouts whilst laughing about them and sharing screen shots in the chat. Sometimes it was just because they didn’t like them, or they disagreed on a topic or sometimes just for fun.

tbh i wouldn't do it anyways as you can easily take a few lines out of context, it is far more about the general theme of the chat and how it was. Individual screen shots can be made to make anyone look anything, so even if i had the access I wouldn't do it. It was more the general theme that newbies were laughed at and threatened and not helped.... unless they joined in, i fully acknowledge i was given an in, and would no doubt be huge on hive now had I taken it, but I could never do that. I am sure we all said things over our lives we realise we are not proud of but I would just hope they might acknowledge it at least.
