It is sad and regrettable, but it is the reality, this ecosystem is harmed by the whales that make and break everything at will ... I have noticed that most whales do not worry about giving a favorable vote to their followers to give them a good comment, they are only thinking about how to earn more money and publish junk content that no one is interested in and easily put their item in trend, due to abuse of vote buying. They take advantage of its power and wealth. Here is an example of a humble person that I follow. @krnel You published this great article that I doubt will reach the trend if you do not invest in bidbots, it is a humble person that does not abuse the system, that is why I admire it and because I have followed it and I see that it helps others without looking for anything in return and this action makes you a great person.
