"Whales Are Losing Their Power."
No, just reduced the proportion of their power. Its relative. They are still big and strong, but meanwhile the smaller accounts are growing faster, as you show to us :)

Btw. i made a try with two tag, minnowuprising and upvoteplankton, and i dont see any different with or without these tags. Maybe its not enough big boy, who want we grow, or too much cool posts (not mines :D ), and not enough the vote-number :)
