I think the ratio of the whales and plankton+minnow is not that equal. Yes I agree that some whales tend to sell their votes, some posts was being undervalued and was not being appreciated. But there are still whales that keeps on helping the community.
In my opinion whales was not obliged to help (but I admit that I would be very helpful if a whale will help me), its their account and they can do whatever they want.
Ocra's can also help, Dolphins are also out there, lets not depend only on the whales.
@surpassinggoogle and @jerrybanfield are some of the users that I see helping the community. They are not whales but they really are a great contributor to the platform.
There are also developers who help the community, @busy @utopian-io are some of them
Contributing to the community is not all about upvoting
Thnks for the comment I really learnt from this. And I understand the fact that Whales are not meant to work for the plankton/minnows. But I think its will be very nice if they put more contributions to the community. @jerrybanfield, @surpassinggoogle, @good-karma @busy.org, and some other users in the category are good citizens of this community and if we can have more of them I think this will help motivate people to write good contents. The @cheetah, @steemcleaners is always there to see if you did plagiarism automatically but you will never see any original work bot that will upvote you or commend you for the good job done.
Indeed, all we can do is grow our accounts and help these people 😊
Yeah true talk. I just need steem power delegations.
You can go to @minnowbooster, that's the site where I get some delegated SP
