RE: How many people does it take to have steemit-land talking about something?
But if the whale could decline vote power for rewards it is then calculated from smaller voters. The payouts per day is still the same but less votes are calculated and the highest vote powers are removed. The big steem holders are rewarded proportionally for their nonvote holdings out of the curation pool, in proportion with their holdings' value.
I personally like to see whale votes, until the price of steem rises and so our own personal vote value rises they give a nice bonus, plus it shows they are active on the site.
