Not from my experience. As long as the old timers who are in the cool kids group get the few whales to auto upvote them and then downvote those who get a little pocket change for good content (that took many hours of hard labor) I see that as a scam. Especially when steemit has promoted themselves as something completely different.

Whales involved in this experiment are auto downvoting whales who autovote the 'cool kids' group. They don't downvote content that wasn't upvoted by a whale prior.
I got upvoted by @dantheman on a post about HF17, which was written and published before the test was announced and that post was downvoted twice by @smooth and @abit. How does that plays with what you wrote about
Please look at my rewards and at the votes I'm receiving and tell me I'm one of the 'cool kids'. Pretty please, with sugar on top.
This "experiment" was not intended to give anyone anything back. This was a false flag operation to level up the rewards, rooted in greed and selfishness.
