Yes. I think it got me more as I saw these same names in a private chat group I was invited to as a newbie in 2017. I don’t know how I ended up in there at all but some guy invited me. It was whales and some of the now witnesses and it was called steemit chat 2. They used to laugh at all the newbies coming in and select who they would flag and take down to 1 rep. They made absolutely vile comments about people I wouldn’t even want to repeat and just saw it as fun to trash newbies and make them live in fear of them. I didn’t even speak of it myself because back then I was a bit afraid of them and like every Else toed the line to not get picked on. I then forgot and it’s only recently I remembered, because this behaviour is looking somewhat similar. I would like to add I didn’t see smooth back then, unless it’s a different name. But many of the others I recognise. They did not care at all about new users they just upvoted their own circle and behind closed doors laughed at and terrorised newbies. The only one I saw be helpful and upvote new people was Kyle. Out of them all I remember him as a decent person.
