Whales are losing their influence, you know how we create an amazing atmosphere, participate. That's it that's all, we just need people to upvote content they actually enjoy and steemit will thrive. Does this mean that we cant upvote shit that we think will become valuable? No it does not, what it does mean is when someone sees content they actually enjoy they should upvote regardless of the financial incentive. If people skip past shit they actually enjoy just because they're looking for financial gain then steemit will die. Other then that and code/hacking problems I don't see too much that's going to hinder the growth of this platform.

Like I said the SP is becoming much more distributed, the middle class will do nothing but grow and grow but only if people actually upvote decently naturally, greed doesnt even have to go anywhere as long as were still upvoting the content we actually enjoy.

For myself I upvote alot of fitness/health shit, computer shit, video game shit, nature, and what ever else catches my eye regardless of the monentary amount. I also go looking for potential hot articles as well but I don't ignore the content that I specifically enjoy. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only dolphin voting that way but in reality i'm sure most people are voting like this seeing as the distributions are mathematically evening out.
