It is true that the building process is difficult when we don't have that $20k to invest like the whales but we should learn to be patient and gather little by little. We can always write a post that speaks right to the hearts of whales and perhaps one of them will upvote. Choosing the right topic and give good opinion may be the ingredients for interesting content. These are still just my thoughts and not conclusive. We are all learning!

Building community is the way forward. Unfortunately some whales will not upvote your content even if they like it, but will instead sell their votes to bots, as this makes them more money. This whale in the link below describes his motivations for upvoting, and how according to him, you can increase your chances of being upvoted. His motivations are purely increasing profit for himself. I'm sure his outlook is not shared by every whale, but I would forget trying to attract whales and focus on creating good valuable content and building a strong community of many small players who reward each others work and can grow together.

Great sharing! I agree about focusing on creating good valuable content and building a strong community of many small genuine players. I am still learning and will want to grow in this area! No point disturbing the whales when they are not interested to help but there are some helpful ones as well. There are always two sides and thanks for sharing the other side of the story!
