Honestly, you lost me  right here, because none of this was set up right, nothing was announced to all of us as stakeholders, so this is a fail.  Despite you being such a nice guy and very smart!  No vote, whales only opinions, no dates, I could go on.

The experiment will only work though if all the whales participate. If only some whales abstain from voting, and others continue to vote - then the ones who continue to vote will just have way more influence. The only solution to this is to convince them to stop voting, or to counter their upvotes with downvotes.

Maybe my post today really did ruffle feathers.   Content creators and daily active  users need to be consulted, rewarded and without that -- nobody will onboard in the thousands, with the issues, let alone  the billions with this great thing @ned and @dan have built which is kind of beautiful.....
