If someone with more distributing strength like whales want to help a minor to grow in this platform it will be fine and fortunate for the minor . Bit it will make the minor to be less serious in the platform since he got where he is by support of a whale, I believe in hardwork and persistence for me to appreciate what I have achieved .
I always tell people that steemit is a long term investment and not a short term gain powering up steem is the wisest thing one should do moving forward because it helps to increase and improve your influence in the steem blockchain. I am here to build my steem power in other for me to become a dolphin and maybe someday a whale everything is possible
Great comment! Yes, you are right that the danger in that kind of concept.
The minnow or plankton or even dolphin is getting lazy because he thinks that the whale will feed him. That's why I said this selection has to be very clear. Let's take you for an example. I think you would not abuse that kind of support. I think you would appreciate it and nevertheless work hard. Maybe you would work even harder :)
Exactly! @obest.
Everything is possible.
And I totally agree with your view but permission to tweak it a little with practical life experience please...
I am a coach and a Toastmaster (a public speaking and leadership practicing platform).
And when someone is assigned to mentor you or coach you, there's a common understanding between both parties that the coach is eligible to ask his student to redo his project again (with justifiable reasons).
I once repeated a particular project 3 times. ☺
So if a whale and a minor can have a common understanding and an honest agreement to help the minor grow when there's an obvious seriousness and to also sanction the minor by down-voting him when he becomes less serious, and with a promise from the minor to grow another person after he's strong.
I think it'd be beautiful.
Just my thoughts though..
👏🏽 👏🏽 This will work if it were to be implemented
