@dantheman I have a question.
You state, "Minnows that consistently pick out winners before they are winners will eventually attract a multitude of whale and dolphin bots who follow their every vote." Then further along you state, "Curation is a game for whales and dolphins. Minnows are unlikely to earn any significant return on their votes. Minnows should stick to posting and commenting."
If you recommend minnows stick to commenting and posting, since there is no real incentive for them to vote, then how are they going to lead whales and dolphins to content?
Your musings here are currently leaving me feeling very unclear. If you get a chance please clarify. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
