RE: This "Whale-Watching" shit is desperate and needs to STOP!
Whales are the celebrities of Steemit..!
Same reason your average layman has a ladyboner for movie stars/actors...
People love to follow and worship things they think are greater than them.
Even in my limited success on steemit I've seen a fanbase and whatnot pop up around me.. With less than 1000 SP folks still seem to treat me "like a whale" and frankly I can't imagine the annoyance of some of the truly big players. I get a solid 25-30 PM's a day spamming me with links..
You look at whales like BerndogSanders or DantheDevelopmentMan and see them under constant barrage of folks spamming them with posts...
I do not envy the whales.
Ay bro, I too, do not envy them.
I mean sure it must be fun at the start but it'd get pretty old pretty fast.
I'd love to have that power, but at the same time, screw being bombarded all the time.
I know that one or two of the bigs don't mind all the attention but the rest tend to prefer to stay in the background... It's just becoming far too desperate and I'm seeing people wasting too much effort on being "that guy"...
It would be awesome, if the whales started down bombing all the posts that were obvious fishing attempts , that shit would stop right quick LOL
