I personally find it extremely disgusting, how far people are willing to go, just to try and solicit an upvote from a whale. Do you really think this is gonna work? And if you did manage to get your post upvoted with some obvious butt-kissing, would you feel proud of that? Do you feel you would have fairly earned that money?
I'm sure that would cross everyone's mind when they're spending it!! Also, if you bothered to read the post and assess its content you would've realised the satirical nature and evaluated that it's very unlikely to get a vote from the illusive "steem whales"!!
