This whale argument has been doing the rounds ever since the first payout. Whales were founders/early adopters. People should have NO control of the behaviour of others. I get small payouts which is better than the no payouts I got when I started. Is it fair, is it unfair?
Who cares. If I don't like it I'll leave. At the moment I DO like it (a lot) so I stay. Whales may vote for whoever whenever they please. Whiners, stop whining and just stay or go.
