RE: Finding Perspective on HF21 -- Actions Speak Louder Than Words
The reward split was changed way before the Whale Experiment, and the Whale Experiment did not knock down the little guy, quite the opposite actually, it gave the little guy more than 10x the voting power. Linear was much demanded by the community way before the experiment and delegations as well, and the reason why the experiment happened was because linear was not included in HF17, as it was by far the most popular demand and everyone expected it to be included in that HF. The rest of your story also leaves much to be desired as for how things happened, but I'm not here to rewrite your entire spiel which seemingly is born out of a sense of entitlement to be heard/queried regarding these changes.
Your recollection may differ from mine. The whale experiment most definitely did not give the little guy more.
It took away from any little guy who got a whale vote more than their arbitrarily set threshold. What did give the little guy a lot more .. possibly 10x was when the change to linear happened and that was only a brief period until the larger stakeholders realized they needed to adjust their voting levels to distribute their stake more ...
With many of them that lasted until they realized they could make passive return delegating to bid bots rather than actual curation.
As for your claim that I have written this post out of a sense of entitlement ... would that be the same sense of entitlement that brings you to my post behaving like a dick?
The Whale Experiment directly increased the little guys voting power by more than 10 times, this is easy to see if you go back and read the comments and if you look at how big the votes were before and after the Whale Experiment.
What was exactly the dick behavior you accuse me of? Remarking that you seemingly are entitled to be heard/queried about these changes? Is so let me offer you a hug, it seems like you need a hug since I dared to point out that you ain't entitled to be listened to.

Sure as shit you couldn't be more mistaken about it. You thought about what else you're mistaken about, besides what I pointed out in my initial comment? I would, seems that your memory is shit and your narrative of "whales are greedy" doesn't hold any water, wonder what else is myth.
