Paying someone to upvote just seems wrong.
If whales want STEEMIT to become more successful so their investment will pay big then they need to become more active in upvoting content they actually like. This will then also encourage higher quality content and make STEEMIT a site worth visiting.

Yes, there is no point of blindly voting random posts. Quality post that offers value to its reader should be voted. As a reader when we open a post, we expect to learn something new, something valuable.
I can't agree more. We need high content so we don't waste time when we read posts.
Totally agree. Quid pro quo in action here, and it just does not seem right that content that is not worth attention could stand to be the forefront of what people associate as "trending" by simply paying for the added attention versus earning it. On the flip-side, the influence these whales garner is disproportionate and too dependent upon their individual tastes, whereas, I see success with STEEMIT being dependent upon a diverse set of contributors that attracts new users to the platform. Keep plugging away, and eventually you will earn enough recognition to be called a whale yourself...or at least that is the hope.
Interesting, I am not sure whether Whaleshares is a good thing for the community or not. I guess time will tell.
I agree with you @g-no as great content will make steemit become a stronger community with quality content for consumption. Kindly follow me @bewajijohnson
