Something to keep in mind is that this is a double edged sword. If you want to have a discussion on whether or not whales should have the centralized power to take rewards away, you need to realize that the whale's centralized power over Steem distribution is the reason you've made 30k here. You didn't get that reward because your posts were popular and valued the masses. Its possible, but we have no way of knowing because the only votes that matter when it comes to money are the whales. If you want to have a discussion on changing the way it works I'm all for it, just remember that the way the system currently works is probably the reason you got massive payouts. Right now the whales giveth, and the whales taketh away.
