The problem I see is people feel whales favor certain people and they feel slighted. This is how our world works, so weird to see this played out in a closed system like Steemit.

its not the whales who favor certain people, it's the bots of whales that upvote users who consistently create great blog posts, the bots follow the easy money, and after months of seeing that happen, it's time for a change

You are right, we also need more middle class to balance the influence of the whales.

@andytherbg, There are many people here that work very hard on their content but their quality of content isn't worth much. But quality, besides proper grammar and formatting is so subjective. If a whale wants to support their favorite artist, as this is the system we have on Steemit, they have a right, it's their power to do with as they wish.

In the old days, when the monarchy ruled the world, those who had talent and many times connections were picked to produce art and music. As an artist without a benifactor you would starve to death, back in the feudal days.

Maybe there should be a steady income for @krnel and others, like weekly pay. Keep everything as it is and only add that
