as reviewing old posts on steemit, it used to be win win for all members, now it's looks like all whales are leasing their steemit power to bots.
in best case scenario they upvote high ranked authors.

i have been in steemit for 3 months, and i posted some good posts, and never got an upvote from a whale, and not only me, i know that there are thousands of users who are having the same experience.
