Given Hive is basically just a new home for the disenchanted of Steemit I'm not surprised in the slightest. Many of those who made the change have brought the same baggage and methods with them that they practised on Steemit. The promise of a "Brave new world" and "A new way of doing things" is actually pretty hysterical when you think about it.
Ask yourself these two questions:
The fact of the matter is Hive was not created because people (Dev's) were fed up with all the bots, sock puppets, parasites and utter garbage on Steemit it was set up simply because Justin Sun bought Steemit. Everyone (well some were) was perfectly happy with Steemit until Justin came along nobody thought it would be a good idea to wipe the slate clean and start afresh until the rise of Justin.
It would be nice if a lot of the unfair practices on Steemit were not replicated on Hive but that's just wishful thinking. I've not been on Hive that long and like most and possibly including yourself was lured to start using the account already created for us by promises of a "Brave new world" even though I knew that was not the reason it was created.
Let's just hope it doesn't end up like Animal Farm?
