Shaka is a whale I had in mind when I posted this a few days ago:

"You also harm those few generous whales that actually take the time to read your content and throw their fat upvote. You lessen their position on the platform and you give them all the reasons to stop being the good guys and turn to the dark side. The temptation to get 80 % of their vote back instead of 20% is really strong, don't you agree?" from:

All I have to say is thank you Shaka for all the upvotes you have been generously giving. Hopefully you won't get tired of all this shit and keep doing what you do. If you however start posting stolen memes 10 times a day and self upvote I wont blame you.
