I have to agree with you Halo.
I also want hive to grow and become more popular, everyone on hive should do, to make the coin price go higher, which is the most beneficial outcome for everyone on Hive, even any corrupt whales!!!
Although, there does seem to be a problem that has been carried over from Steemit, and Halo is correct when she says that many users are too scared to call it out, of which I'm one.
On Steemit, it was obvious to anyone who wanted to look, that there was much corruption and vote buying going on. I even tried vote buying myself, but very soon realized it was wrong, and the people making the most out of this venture were the vote sellers.
I haven't done much research on Hive since, but it does seem that there is some corruption and vote buying still going on, but now, it does seem to be more difficult to see and prove.
Hopefully, the honest whales, who I'am sure are in the majority, will eventually sort it out.
I really hope so, because if not, I fear Hive will not do well.
