It literally "buys" attention, now whether u use it well or not is up to others to decide as well. Like we've had whales like @theycallmedan who've used their stake really, really well. Then we've had whales like @transisto/@newsflash who've just been general assholes and they didn't get as much out of it both in terms of attention and returns because no one cared about them in the end, stake or not, when they didn't use it properly.
