You are so right about this. I have a friend here who was getting a few whale/orca votes for at least the last year. He was sailing on those with amazing payout. I just looked last week and the whale votes are gone for a few months. Now his posts are getting very low rewards and he just still posts and posts and does not interact. No skills were learned in the good times.
I want to hunt whales but I can't bring myself to do it - so minnow tips it is :)
