There are 245,000 accounts on steemit and he is helping maybe 500 to this date. So your argument is completely invalid. Sorry. He is not draining the reward pool. You might consider it cheating a little bit, but after all this community is about helping each other grow. It is much better for everyone if we have more medium accounts than having a few whales and the rest are hopeless minnows.
Then i will explain it to you.
Do you really think that the whales take the time to read and upvote quality content everyday? They can only give tiny fractions of their votingpower or they will end up giving like 20 or 40$ per upvote. So they would need to upvote like 200-300 posts per day to get their voting power to 80%. I personally do not know many whales, besides hendrikdegrote and some few others that do that every day.
So what the whales end up doing mostly is upvoting themselves and giving the rest in big upvotes to only a few lucky writers. And that is bul.lshit and draining the reward pool with no benefit for the community.
So in conclusion having many medium accounts and lesser whales is better for a healthy and growing community which benefits everyone. That is what @worldclassplayer is doing, growing the medium userbase a little bit everyday.
Thanks for your comment and consideration @rossenpavlov
You've opened up some community reflection here.
This opens up some questions:
Cheating?
Good Authors?
Draining the rewards pool?
Greedy?
Judgements?
Helping...But not really helping?
I will write a reflective post in response to your comment and post listed above. Again, I thank you for opening up discussion here. Communication is indeed the key within the best creative collaborations.
I encourage fellow steemian's to do the same. Feel free to attach any post write up reflections here and we can have a group discussion here.

Sorry can't see how this is helping.

Are we here for the whales? Is this what you are saying?
No, because they do not need us at all. I am just trying to lessen the gap in between by promoting minnow growth rather than whalegrowth.

Thank you, it will be interesting. I want to hear what are people's opinions on these matters.
