Always respect your videos, and I have no problem with the whales being able to have such impact. That's how the real world works, except here the rich whales will often talk to and help newcomers and not act snobbish or above them. If someone invests 1,000,000 in a company they have a larger share in the company and should have more say. The same could also be said of twitter and Facebook, but being first often gives you a great advantage. If whales start treating users without respect or the user base can't be scaled larger because too much content comes in to weed out, the. I could see it failing. If new users have success that try and are making good content, we all win. Limiting the number of posts you can make until you achieve certain levels of steem power should be implemented. When people can only make 3 posts total per day until they reach 100 steem power they might think about creating better content than the meme they just created. The flagging system should have a reward for it as well in some way. Steemit is unique so I hope it stays for the long run.

Yup. As content creators and curators, we work for the shareholders... and the shareholders work for the user base. I've noticed that when a whale votes on something I've posted, that vote loses value quickly, which means he is diluting his power by voting on a whole lot of other stuff as well. That's a very good sign.
Exactly! You have the right outlook on that instead of complaining about it you see losing money from the whale as spreading wealth. Could you please look at my post https://steemit.com/steemit/@bendjmiller222/how-my-best-friend-saved-me-from-suicide I poured my heart into it and it has gotten buried beneath bots and I think it could help a lot of people. I actually tried to keep someone from plagiarizing your content :) https://steemit.com/plagiarism/@bendjmiller222/i-normally-would-only-flag-plagiarism-but-i-value-piedpiper-content-to-much-please-downvote-rednetjkh
@bendjmiller222 Good comments!
Thank you! I have so many people I like to see post, but I really try to make an effort to watch your videos. If you can bring a little dolphin or whale visibility to my dog post I would love that. I know they are looking for quality and this is about as quality as I can write, but I know other people who post something like this will have a hard time if they make only a dollar from it. This piece is a memorial and I fiddled a few times to see what people might see and be engaged to click and read. Hopefully it gains a little traction and has success like your posts consistently do. I'm glad you are here helping provide wisdom to others here, and that as a dolphin (or fat minnow i don't know the steem power threshold) that you are willing to talk to those who may only add a cent instead of solely on those that can make you 100's of dollars with a click. Those invested heavily in the platform know best how important it is to have new people get credit for hard work and succeed and want to continue creating content. If this is something you'd be interested in promotin i would be happy to share some steem power with you weekly if you want as a token of thanks with your faithful following. https://steemit.com/steemit/@bendjmiller222/writing-contest-for-those-frustrated-with-never-having-their-content-seen hope it's a contest you find to add value. I'm not an incredible writer but I try to have innovative ideas and write from the heart.
