Yes I agree with @iamjadeline. The journey of those Steemians, who are 'Whales' today is not an easy achievement. They have struggled hard for last two years, some of them even more to reach that place where they are today. All of them are bound to vote for their seniors who always supported them from the beginning. There is nothing wrong with it. But still some whales are extending some percentage of their votes to the minnows.
