If the whales, such as yourself are too busy to vote and curate, which I think you stated, what does that mean if you hold most of the voting power?

Some whales are too busy to curate, but I don't think most are. The general solution in such cases is to delegate curation partially or totally to other people. For my account, I mostly curate at night, and my wife curates during the normal work day. There have been various suggestions for ways that big accounts could "sell" their curation rights to others via some blockchain mechanism (for example via a market) and I'm not opposed to something like that, as long as it doesn't tie up too much development time. This could make Steem a more interesting investment for someone who wants to take a speculative long term position, but doesn't want to curate the account. But, in keeping with my main theme, I think it's more important to focus on what the site offers normal users.
That would be something worth looking into by I would say all whales there are a lot of great content that is still being missed... there are also more than 100 so called whales that can be having helping hands on curating.. is there not? if something like that does happen steemit will growing to bigger strides. My opinion is of course you cant look at all the posts or content there is but if each whale had 2 or three helping hands you know that would make a dramatic effect for the better part. Regardless keep on posting.
I have 20 CPU s maybe I can make some steem..
I think the early adopters such as yourself are very busy, and not necessarily the standard users of Social Media. Although, I completely agree on your points, focusing on development of networking features, I also like the idea that people are at least considering we are losing early adopters due to marketing saying "Make Money" and the system not following through on that. Thank you for your answer. I like any idea that spreads out the task of curation, with all due respect, you are great at many things, but I am not sure you are the eyes of the end-user.
I'm sure I don't qualify as a standard user of social media. But even if all the whales fell into that category and they curated 24 hours a day, a lot of people still won't make money if the requirement is to write great, wholly original articles in English. If you can write an article like that, I fully believe that you will get rewarded by Steemit now. But I think Steemit needs to do more than that, to capture a really big audience. At the very least, it's got to be competitive in the back-and-forth type of conversations that occur daily on existing social media platforms.
Agreed.
