Hello hitmeasap,
they whales can do what they want. They are free to choose what they want. I don't defend what they do not I blame them. But one thing must be said: when whales upvote new user or user who have only few Steem Power they are supporting Steemit even more. When these new users finally have more Steem power the Steemit benefits because they will upvote others with theire new voting power. By doing so we create more value or am I wrong? Today @dantheman upvoted a comment from me. It was like Christmas and having birthday the same time! Thanks for that btw. Going to power up so I can give in return.
@timsaid, you are totally right, and that's what this whole posts is about.. To make people aware of the things that happens right now and to, hopefully, reach out to some of the whales, so they can perhaps change their minds a bit at least..
