I'd like to point out that the inverse of your example is also true. @haejin's rewards don't matter to minnows. Media payout is $.02, and @haejin is taking, at worst, 5% of the rewards pool.

He's impacting $.02 by 5%.

5% of nothing is.. carry the zero... ummm.... nothing. Still nothing.

It doesn't matter one bit to minnows which whales are taking 99% of the rewards.

No matter what, 50k minnows share 1% of rewards.
