I would like to demonstrate to everyone how high a post can go without Whale/Dolphin intervention. Hypothesis: Not Very High.
The concept is to have all people with less than 1000 Steem Power vote on this post to test the theory.
The value in doing so is to demonstrate how little effect most users currently possess, when compared to users with enormous voting weight, or Whales and other cetaceans.
If you don't know what a Minnow is, you probably are one! Basically the majority of users, and with very little voting weight, meaning the ability to contribute much value with their Upvotes.
However, this Minnow Upvote challenge will hopefully demonstrate we are still in a pond, not an ocean.
If we are sticking to the metaphors, I believe the proper balance of the ecosystem may consist of Whales/Dolphins/Fish-of-various-size/tiny-minnows. But this current ecosystem feels too dynamically opposed, in that we are not a majority of minnows, but a majority of Plankton, the even tinier organisms that the Whales feed on, and grow in size! Do we need Whalers to fix this, or can the ecosystem find equilibrium on its own?
Thanks for your participation!
