Look, I don't think that is unfair that there are whales with much SP, because they deserve it for taking risk to invest when the platform was new. Though, I think that people chase "author whales" for their upvote(in hope's) is a problem on steemit cause we the later people can't get noticed...
Pfff...
Ohhh, I get it now. In this case(which I wasn't aware of) your very right and needs to be addressed cause if creators have no rewards in this platform they will search for anoher place...
I think you are righ cause if you go to trending you will see posts with huge upvotes but no views which means potentially bots are used...
