You are absolutely right. Obviously this post won't catch the vote of the "whales" as they could see the proposal as a threat to them. I was more or less just making something public that I've noticed and out of concern for the future of steemit and felt the need to say something about it. As we see more and more users join and make posts who soon realize there are but a handful of people who control the system we may see more garbage being posted than we already do out of desperation for whale votes.

Without a doubt, props to the users/whales who got into steem early and made some serious cash with it. You guys saw the potential this thing had and and rode it all the way.
