Thanks, I feel the same way. I don't go "chasing whales"; if I happen to bump into them on my posts, or while curating, it's a bonus. Someone upvoted one of my posts by around $70 (which dropped to $65 or so by the time payout happened, just a fluctuation of the STEEM price there), and also upvoted two comments (by others) on the same post by around $25 each! I thought that was really generous -- and followed the voter, but didn't communicate otherwise.
