Yes and as the community/network becomes more alluring to power users, there will be a wider variety of whales engaging too.. Though there is no guarantee that this will help any sub-group out in particular. Ultimately, as you say, a larger number of smaller users participating in curation and becoming active to cause balance will certainly help.
I suspect there may be a language barrier to this at present too, with English speaking accounts having a different experience to other language speaking accounts.
