Very fair point, but I must say that that it's far more common than not for a whale to continue to upvote and engage with their fellow whales because they have more earning potential for them.

This leaves a small window for interacting with others, which would make this place retain and attract more people, which is healthier for the long run.

I struggle to find whales that are committed to providing quality upvotable content, yet as you know, the posts are still upvoted and supported (and realistically for reasons likely outside of it being good content).
