'Value' is subjective. pfunk has done a lot to support musicians and I get votes from him sometimes. I've not seen people being threatened, but I would not support those who do it.

You are free to milk Steem and Blurt, but may get 'judged' for it (not by me). Some people made big investments in Steem at the start and may not have made it back yet. I would hope they act in the interests of Hive now. That is what I do.
