If one wants to advocate for something that requires Steem power, such as supporting some proposal, the economics favors instead putting effort into finding these hundreds of whales rather than putting effort into an attractive post. I was not thinking about how this could be used to do things that benefit an individual at the expense to all the other users of the Hive assets, like for example the sale of Steemit to Justin Sun, evidently this happens already. I would be a fool to think big whales are going to find my post. It's better to write things like this perhaps in comments if they are actually active and answering, but if they instead spend more time on twitter, twitter is where to do it.

The value of Hive just had it's own halvening with respect to BTC. It seems what I save in tx-frees I lose to inflation.
