RE: Steemit: Whales, successful blogs and the 'Joshua Bell phenomenon'
If it only depends on whale votes to have successful posts then many will eventually leave. Helping each other out can lead to success for all.
It doesn't just depend on the whale votes. The whales actually depend on the minnows and dolphins. The whales are in competition to find the posts that have NOT gained any traction and give it a bump if they believe after gaining traction by the 'whale vote' it will become popular.
This is because the whales and dolphins get rewarded for how much money a post makes AFTER the whale or dolphin voted. It is us who decide what succeeds, the whales are just placing their bets on what we will like.
