In hopes of pumping their bags I suppose, it looked as a slap in the face to what I thought the coreprinciples of bitcoin were supposed to be

That's because it was a slap in the face for what Bitcoin was supposed to be. You are not wrong. They are. That's why the people who truly believe in what Bitcoin used to be, now use Monero
Will do my due diligence looking into Monero today, I'm unfamiliar with it
Post a wallet address and I will send you a small tip.
I'll have to look into before I'm comfortable posting address, I'm coming into this with almost no knowledge
Well, see, that's the great thing. If you post an address for Monero, it doesn't matter because of the functionality Monero has to hide the sender, the receiver, and the amount received or sent.
You can't see amounts and addresses on-chain
Monero stealth addresses make it so every Monero user is equally likely to have been the receiver
It also uses pedersen commitments so its amount privacy is quantum computer proof
Addresses are also quantum computer proof *if* an adversary doesn't have access to the original address - meaning if you privately DM shortwave your Monero address on something like SimpleX (which uses quantum-resistant encryption), mail them it, or show them your address in person, that is also safe from an extreme scenario like quantum computers.
That's why it's so great. Don't take my word for it though. I encourage you to fact check me on all this.
