RE: Why Whales & Dolphins have to start work for steemit or risk to lose their whole investment!
You correctly point out some problems there. We do need more and better curation, especially more downvoting.
However, blaming it on "the whales" is too simple IMO.
Every user can help by downvoting junk posts. Even if you don't have much voting power yourself, it will help others judge the posts. It will reduce the overall earnings of the poster, and hopefully make him stop spamming.
Some people do mutual upvoting. That's just one of many ways people are trying to game the system. This is only a problem if their content is bad. In the long run, this problem will go away. You can help make it go away if you don't upvote popular posts just because they're popular.
Really thanks for your answer and get some other opinion. I only recognized it brings absolute nothing when a few normal users do the work. I am not blaming the whales of course but just wanted to start a discussion about it. But who is profiting the most from a clean and well curated steemit.... of course the whales. :-)
Next - why should anyone do the work what not profiting in any way when the ones what should be look after are not interested? This makes also no sense.
