Really appreciate your answer and insight of your thinking - I will definately read it tonight when at home.
I know I wrote it maybe little wrong and too exaggerated (no native english, so also not so easy for me). I am not against partnerships in general but on some accounts it all has a real bad taste as they only vote on their questionable "partnerships" and give nothing back to normal community. Please don`t include yourself to that :-)
Now the spam comes with masses and I simple see no whales helping with editorial work here on steemit. I meet just 2 people (maybe even no dolphins) what really work but are more or less helpless against that problem. I think just it should be the main focus of every whale to keep all clean and valueable... so also do editorial work. If not we would need some "centralized" mods again to prevent spam and then the main feature of steemit would be away. Or I am just a noob what get it all not yet, haha.
