This Whale Cabal thing has come up quite a bit. I do not know what that theory is based on but I think it would be better for me to write a blog post about it and see what people think.
I know what you are saying about downvotes can be used abusively. I try to avoid it.
But also, remember, whales are just people. Like we respond to incentives like everyone else.
If things happen that make people think there is a Cabal you are really wanting a change in the incentive structures to make us seem less coordinated. Most whales are in the similar position so it makes sense we do a lot of the same things.
I would also say, Whales treat me with respect and smaller accounts taunt me all the time. Seems like more often than not people want to instigate something or want to be the victim.
Just remember, this is the internet. People can fake who they are. I am a pretty real person so it is hard not to at least feal for where I am coming from. But I have had a lot of people steal from me on HIVE. None of them were whales. And I am not talking about Bro either. Exclude the bro token fiasco and a lot of people have stole money from me over the years. Usually I think that is out of the idea that I have too much and it is ok to steal because I do not deserve to have wealth while someone starves. If I gave money to every poor person I know I would be in debt in less than 24 hours. 🤷♂
