RE: The Big City Hunt! (Part II)
The fact that my accounts happen to be split up compared to other whales who use one account for all their methods of earning doesn't change anything.

Ok, that is true, which is why I also mentioned voting power percentage?
Dude, you still have the #17 ranked post out of probably 1000+ active posts, earning an estimated $38 compared to a mean of probably around $5 and a median of probably around $0. Is that not good enough?
Well that wasn't really the point, the point was whether you felt reducing this post's rewards by around 60% was really necessary? I mean with the kind of voting power you have why not go out and find posts you think deserve to be higher and upvote them? Positive reinforcement for people instead of negative.
That and there are numerous examples of "whale swarms" but you chose this one specifically? There are other ones on the trending page that were ahead of this post right now actually. There was a post several weeks back from Busy.org that made over $1000 and literally was the epitome of a "whale swarm", yet there was no downvote there from you for a "whale swarm". Now, lets be clear, I am not saying that the Busy.org post didn't deserve it, because it probably did. They probably deserve every penny they get. I am just saying you seem to be picking and choosing your "whale swarms" to downvote. This particular one was ironic to me personally in the fact that it was more of an everyman type post, similar to what you told me last time we chatted that you would like to see more of when you downvoted another post of mine a couple weeks ago...
I'm not the 'whale swarm patrol' nor am I paid to be. What I happen to notice that looks off to me, I downvote,
Value is subjective. I happen to believe that a very active development project that promises to improve the user experience on the platform brings far more value than the typical 'everyday' blogging post. It is understandable that most of the largest stakeholders (and many of the smaller ones) would agree with me on that.
The latter is of course still welcome, but some of the most powerful whale accounts working together to concentrate rewards on a few such posts when there are hundreds of others getting next to nothing does not make sense to me.
Fair enough. So I take it your answer to my original question was... "no"? ;)
