if accounts with 15SP got the same votes as whales the whales would just leave and people could spark up 20 alt accounts to farm the pool with junk posts of videos and pictures they didn't make (sound familiar?) instead of trying to grow their SP to make the pool itself more powerful they could get rewards without increasing in power. To some extent that is ok for people that are committed and creating nice content, but nothing good would come from oversimplification of something that is inherently complex. This isn't vote trading, but if it were then the largest accounts in terms of SP would be getting even more than they already are, so you are just contradicting yourself in an attempt to make a point sounding as if the people with less SP should always gain more than anyone else, but if that were true the average SP of shadow casters would decline because people in large groups act in a form of optimization. It is not a long term or pool-centric plan to try turning the voting of the pool into some homogeneous circle jerk where everyone equalizes over time - there has to be some advanced system that prevents abuse and awards commitment while still managing to bring incentive for things that increase the power of the pool overall, like creating good content and gaining more steem power.
You want to make analogy to minnowbooster selling votes then just think: who makes the money selling votes? It is the people with the most SP making the most from that, and such a simple fact means the total SP of vote sellers has an uplift because they all want more SP to get more returns. If instead you have everyone paid the same amount for selling votes then why even bother getting more SP? You bring up things to contradict yourself while being critical of something, it isn't a great argument, sorry.
Do oyu know how many worth upvote you gave to me several hour ago? Only upvote i recieve for past 2 days from shadowbot? Let me answer : less than half i gave you. If you read preview my replyes you will see a teoretic vision about pool grow. Not selling just exchanging. I am pretty sure btw that you know how exactly think whales. They play with coution.Trade theyer gain or wait SBD reach 100 USD . But do you know how they become whales. Should be interesting to know what ppl they are . I have little suspection about whales ability to write or produce any "Quallity" content. Not to mention that most of them are raw investors or a ppl used to enter platform in close circle for fist coin distributions. So before you try to change my minds or try to change my vision i can tell you FAREWELL. I think staying in SB is no more than loss ot time i'm limited in. In steemit i meet wonderfull ppl that make this platfor social one. Social as its intend to be.
Now excuse me but i have workout to do which i am paid for.
@alphacore Couldn't have said it better myself!
