RE: What if I told you I've uncovered a top secret community, this community is so secretive that if you want to work your way up its ladder you are going to need some very heavy pockets? Would you want to be part of this community?

Thanks for your input.

The one thing I did want to mention, which I'd seen in older discussions (no idea where anymore though) that suggested a period of time where the whales stopped voting or at least set their vote slider bar to 10%. The daily 'prize pool' is the same fixed amount regardless of who votes, but with less of the whale votes (rshares) being used, this would make minnow/dolphin votes a larger influence on distributing that daily prize pool.

Interesting, I didn't know about this. So if everyone stop voting for a day and I am the only one voting, I would be able to allocate all the pool's money on my own even if I have very little steem power is that correct? Even if that is obviously far from ideal for the whales, I still think that a real solution could possibly lies in there somehow.

    Exactly!
    If you were the only person to cast a vote in a day, you would distribute the entire prize pool yourself.

    SP/upvotes don't hold a direct dollar value in and of themselves, rather have a greater proportion of the say on how the total prize pool is distributed.
