Excellent comment. And yes, the sleeping whale auto-vote is only a small part of the problem. But it was a point that really had not been talked about which is why I wanted to highlight it.
Yes, I think sometimes one of the best things to do is to just ignore what's going on at the higher levels and just worry about what I can control. But just allowing abuses to continue without comment doesn't seem right either.
I don't know what the solution is. I wish I did.
