Compare the blue (super-linear) and magenta (linear) curve and tell me it is not a huge change in the wrong direction making making the wales even more powerful.

I don't think we need whale votes. They will only vote for what they find interesting for themselves. And there are only a few of them. They will not lead to diversity of thought.

We need the more engagement for small accounts else they loose interest quickly.

If steem gores back to super-linear I might as well cut my losses and cash in my chips.
