You bring up a very valid point. It is not easy to have a large stake on any platform. Many feel that is the way until they get a bit of stake themselves. Only then does one realize all the different directions pulled.

I do not believe I am a whale on any one platform, I am an Orca on a few Steem Tribes.

Each day I do try to use up all my voting power. One of the big drivers is to keep building my stake through curation (and a few comments).
