Thanks for the reply and questions!

• In a post/comments last 12 hours you can not vote to increase payout hence 12 Hour Cutoff
• I did not say that all whale posts are not overpaid (yes this does happen) but I wanted to point out that a smaller percentage of the reward pool is actually going to these posts then most think. Also that there are a lot more rewards then what we see within the top trending posts up for grabs. I do think that there must be a better way to handle this but I personally don't know the answer, I believe it does need another look.
