Many investor whales have larger stake in the platform and isn't it only logical, from a human standpoint, that since they brought in such large investment, they would want to guard their investment and perhaps, gain some incentive from it?
Surely you can't expect less from them because almost everyone will want rewards for his/her investments so people should stop criticizing users like these when you come across them because you will do almost the same if its you just that we should be considerate and know that wealth or status that you can't use to elevate or impact others equals to nothing.
Thanks to @steemsecrets team and @surpassinggoogle for the #secretRevealed for today.... Whale in making @holabisi.
Exactly its easier said than done, majority of people will find it so easy to criticise them now all because they are not in that shoe but trust me when you are not there its not ideal to judge because you dont know what they are feeling. Some might have invest his/her totally on the platform so its normal to firstly look after his/her self before others.
I was drawn also to this statement. The big fishes or whales have also invested a lot and struggled a lot to get their way up. I mean, they won’t be doing what they are doing now if they haven’t worked for it before. It is truly justifiable if they also want to gain in return. They are just like some other minnows who are striving hard and working their asses off for their lives. Other people should cease criticizing them because they don’t know their struggles. Lets just be fair enough. We do what we do for the sake of ourselves. Maybe in the near future we all become whales and no one gets to beg for upvotes or rewards. :)
