Thanks for bringing this up. I am new to Steemit and I am still learning the ins and outs of the system. I still don't really understand the upvote system, but it does seem like its just a matter of time before this is adjusted to allow for less whale abuse.
I hope you know that your blog is very much appreciated and your youtube channel is one I always keep an eye on. Your story is very inspiring and I have gone back and watched a lot of your older videos too. You have inspired me in many ways, one of which was to start my first blog here on Steemit. So thank you and keep on posting!
