The platform incorporates WhaleTokens, the original cross-chain token concept by Fuzzy that Ned and STINC criticized, attacked, flagged, and then stole to pitch as their idea in SMTs.

You do not need to delegate stake where people can do whatever they want including creating destructive mechanism like we seem here on steemit, when you can earn funding for projects or have sub-communities supported with the WhaleTokens backed by the whale account stake. Participation and interaction with the community and its users gets rewarded, not automated non-human bot service interactions.

Whaleshares is only 35 days old now and not even close to its final form yet. There is so much more in the dev pipeline rolling out on a schedule that we won't have to worry about "comparisons" to steemit soon enough. Whaleshares has a different purpose and long-term goal it is working towards.
