I still don't really know who is or isn't a whale and I kind of prefer it that way. And besides, I'm only here to have fun and interact with people on a new and interesting social media platform, so I have no urge to ask people for votes or whatever.
That being said, I do see a number of people in the comments sections asking for votes, etc, without having said or done anything of value. It's a shame people think they have to do that.
It's true, it's good not to know/care who's a whale or not. This way we all treat each other equally.
