What do you think about the concept if someone with more distribution strength commits himself to a plankton/minnow/dolphin to push/support him until the defined goal is reached?
From my experience both when it comes down to giving and getting support, it's not about the size of the support / upvotes but about the consistency.Getting small but consistent support on posts to many of the small-mid sized accounts is worth far more than having to hope for the occiasional whale upvote (even if the total whale upvote is worth more).
I've started 5 months ago with a monthly curation project giving small auto-upvotes to promesing accounts that bring sports betting related content with the idea to slowly grow that community here on steemit. The response has been great and the results exceeded my wildest dreams.
More people actually started giving people on the list support which insipred them to give back and help the community grow. A discord channel was created which helped us group up. Quickly after, we had an upvote bot which now has 1.6k SP and gives free upvotes to anyone who genuinely posts sports betting content. The entire system works and anyone with good clearly good intentions now get support by our community all originated from a couple smaller consistent daily upvotes.
Example of a genuine account before and after joining our community.

So the way I see it, supporting one or two accounts with bigger support helping them grow is far less efficient compared to giving multiple members who clearly have good intentions on steemit smaller consistent support with auto-upvotes (It's more something of a numbers game)
(Steemauto allows auto curation while chosing voting weight and the maximum amount of daily votes which is a really great tool for this)
