Your witnessing it as it happens.... and every time a Whale consistantly upvotes it's own comment or post, not only does it decrease the prize pool for the rest of us yet also decreases the value of it's voting power each and every time they do it. Is why I am choosing to support the @smackdown.kitty project. We can't stop it, but that don't mean we have to agree or like it. If someone wants to put profit before people (becoming part of the social problem rather than a solution to) that is their business. I can only hope the community recognizes it and reacts accordingly (cut our support to those types). Again, @craig-grant is not a big part of the problem. I have personally witnessed him supporting us small fish (including myself). I speak of malicious Whales in general.
As you can see here
I prefer to use my upvotes to help out others with the hope (disillusion) it will be returned in kind. Depending on the community's support rather than stuffing my account and using the power purchased to profit mostly myself (I have stopped upvoting my own things unless no one else votes for it or at least until a few people give it some upvotes).
I repeat, for the umpteenth time, this is not an attack on @graig-grant. And I clearly stated it is entirely the choice of the individual (just as it is my choice to disagree with it).
And yet everyone is choosing to "attack" me (see HERE) while completely ignoring doing any research on how it DOES deplete the rewards pool (which DOES hurt any and all newcomers, like it isn't hard enough to get any exposure with the shadow of the Whales and flood of content going on).
I thought I was being mature about this, thought maybe some of you with your big brains and even bigger egos would take the time to investigate something other than yourselves and your precioussss profits. I guess I was wrong, and wish I would have just kept my mouth shut.
Besides.... anyone who would actually invest any hard earned fiat currency or crypto into this system just so guys like him can suck the rewards pool dry are really just fooling themselves and wasting their time. They would be better off just transferring their funds directly into his account, why fool themselves by putting it into this system when the majority is just going to end up in his (and brown-noser accounts just like his) account anyway.
I was going to throw a few Benjamins into it.... but after this experience and the discoveries I interpreted... no f'ing way will I ever do that now!

hA !!!
Ahora tengo que seguirte.
Why not? If the average user can vote for himself, why can not the whale make it?
