Love the expirmemt but it needs more time

The whale fast I called for last September is finally happening.

I hope we stick with it a while longer. This allows us to:

1. See what a better steem distribution would do to platform
2. see where we have the potential to dominate a niche (cryptocurrency, coding, libertarianism) are my guesses. Once identified we can focus there
3. improve activity by letting people fell like they impacted post rewards
4. encourage power ups if we get some momentum
5. help inform changes to HF17. Maybe our last chance

How long should it last?

There is some Information we can glean from a day or two but it will be much more powerful if we run it till the bots are changed.

Currently bots geared to front running whales allocate most rewards.

Under a whale fast I imagine these bots will stop performing as well. (Can't wait to see). Then bot programmers will rephrase to maximum Mike rewards.

We need to keep the whale fast going until the bots are reprogrammed.

I imagine this could be a week or two.

Only then will we really see what the platform is curating

(instead of seeing what a few whale users voted for what they think is valuable to the platform. Whew a mouthful.

Keep it going - long live the whale fast!
