Considering that a dolphin starts at about 5K steem and goes to 50K...most of those 1400+ are not in the 30K-50K class.....in fact, I see very few people who have that amount of SP...

Most are in the 5K-15K range.

I chose that level because it is a level with some Whale and Orca delegation, can put a number of people in that category. This will offer a larger number of people increased Voting Power so as to hit up minnow accounts with a good pump. When one is voting based upon that level, $10-$15 votes go a long way.

I see, you look at it from the upvote side. It would make a big difference if you had 5k users who could give away 50k 10$ upvotes.

But the problem that I still see is the question where you take all that SP from? You'd need either steemit inc itself to delegate it or you'd need a dozen of whales to do so. But which whale would do that? They all run their immorally profitable upvote bot business. They'd lose thousands of $$ every day if they did that. Just look at what for example @builtawhale gets transferred to every day.It's absolutely crazy and demanding of the owner to dial back to this extend (while giving up the shallow bot-business) is something that I don't see happening without a revolution.
