It's simple theory people tend to care more when there's money involved, and they might have invested some of their fiat money as well and these whales think they are the only ones who invested money on steem and others are just earning for free from their money.
And recently I have learned that most of the witness tend to support them on whatever they say or do because they want that hight power witness vote. Isn't it true?

As a witness, I enjoy the whale votes but I will not conform to their desires to get their votes. I have had to prove that several times.
Everyone is investing money in one way or another, whether it is cash or time its all valuable. Money is involved, but it is not earned until the post pays out. And when the post pays out, no one can downvote it. People need to learn the system better and realize the "money" isnt real until it pays out.
Everyone has a stake in this game. The larger your stake is the more power you have. That is just simple economics.
Yes I wanted to tell the same thing, everybody has some contribution and investment on steem whether it's money or time or something else.
I don't blame you,you must have missed that thread, but I have seen a fight between a well known witness and a random blogger(older), well I didn't know all the history behind that fight but the User(witness) was shouting at blogger telling that he didn't have any real investment and all of his SP are just earning..bla bla in conclusion he wanted to tell the blogger that he had no contribution to the platform but profits .....
