With how much drama there has been over the reward system, this is really nice to see, thanks for doing the comparison.
I think over time we are going to see it evening out even more. It's going to become much more difficult to buy your way to whaledom, and as more people join and produce quality content, there will be more value to find in posts that each individual actually enjoys, so people will stop flocking to whales all the time like they do now. It's funnny to see a whales post come out and not twenty minutes later they have a hundred comments.
