I do agree with you, whales still have the choice of not upvoting others’ posts that dont give them the interest to do so. Even if they are whales, they are still responsible of their choices to upvote and not. I guess, it is when you least expect it that your post is lucky enough to receive upvotes with high value. Whales are the motivators for us to create more contents. We should not just depend on them :)
