Thank you for your interest in this matter.
Unfortunately, not even all "oldtimers" understand what harm the cheating brings to Steemit. Many live only a short-term perspective, trying to snatch more today, without thinking about tomorrow. Their actions give rise to a chain reaction: when one person does poorly and receives rewards, everyone starts to do poorly to receive rewards. This led us to the fact that almost 1/3 of all newly created posts contain elements of unfair play (intentionally or simply because of ignorance).
