Whales, creatures of the past on Steemit?
What is the purpose of being a whale on Steemit these days if whales drain rewards from others and reduce influence of users with less Steem Power? Whales don't vote for months now due to experiment that lasts for way too long now, so why would any sane person power up more than 1mil Steem with those restrictions in place? All that voting power that can't be used. Theoretically if every whale would use 30 100% votes, reward pool pegged for 5-10k Sbd would go way beyond that. In reality only around 10 mil Steem Power all together would be enough to pay daily reward pool, what about all the rest!? I didn't calculate exact math, but I think you understand the issue there.
January, February, March, $$&?$, May.. I'll be gone till November
April was a very depressing month for users like myself and similar people in my "bracket" with 130 Steem Power and 20 Sbd earned during the whole month of April. Most of users on Steemit except Orcas and few other popular bloggers had it like that, but the rest of us were struggling. I don't mind it if I'm just a part of big group of people with similar status. But compared to previous months on steemit, April was a big downer. Due to reward pool filling up and whale experiment that lasts way too long now, at this moment in time dolphin votes are not relevant, so I don't see any issue of whales returning to vote and boost some of the low rewards for blogging this month. I imagine Orcas are quite satisfied with big money in the trending page every day. But the plebs...
I think it is time to make the rest of us on steemit smile again. I'm not gonna bitch, that is not my style, but this gif is just right for the occasion :)
