Regular users do feel that most Whales are not doing much good in utilizing their serious voting power and now it can be seen in numbers as well thanks to your stats...
I have been doing some Whale Watching on my own lately, tracking the votes of something like 60 of the top Whales that actually curate posts and what I'm seeing is something like 4:1 of ratio of Whale votes going for popular and established authors compared to new users.
