Over all it doesn't really matter. Even if you are a big whale people don't really follow you because of what you write they follow them because it's where the money is at. Demand for quality and value gets lost then the site allows big delegations given to people who have some followers from a different site, when you look at them they haven't produced the followers from those sites. If they did they have thousands to millions of comments coming in whereas as most can barely conjure up three or four comments as those are generally from people on Steemit before they got here. They rake out thousands of dollars from the rewards pool for minimal effort, most posting old video's and articles from their old sites while people like you writing pretty good stuff make a few bucks. As a matter of fact I just left one site where this goof ball running for president under the Libertarian party released a four minute video detailing how he's going to use his Steemit proceeds to fund a hundred and twenty thousand dollar endeavor to have his book printed in China and mailed to every resident in New Orleans before the Libertarian convention there. That's a hundred and thirty thousand dollars he's going to take out of the rewards pool for such foolishness. He doesn't stand a chance in hell of ever becoming president, there's only 411 followers on the NO Libertarian FB page and no one's posted there since Feb 2016. So now I am suppose to feel just as good as you about sitting down and writing out some article of quality for a few pennies while this nut case gets to run off with hundreds of thousands of dollars he never even had to try to earn like you or I would. Then I ran across someone a couple weeks ago whose taking paragraphs from different articles on the same subject and pasting them together to make a whole new article out of several. Another ironic side is the wealthier one's criticizing people making statements about how they had to earn their way to the top and they are upset others are easily making money posting silly meme's...then a few days later they turn around and do the same thing. This site is so twisted it surely shows you what would happen if a decentralized system was put into place worldwide...the world would never survive such a disorganized mess. Just think how it would be if everyone could sit there and delegate their own pay to themselves because basically that's what happens here, most what's earned is self delegated and/or able to be self delegated into the hundred from delegation handed to them. I am not paying anymore attention to excuses why one's not earning, you have to get to the point that you yourself can make your own post worth it with voting it up, or make up a bunch of sock puppets to comment, upvote you, or happen to fall into the graces of someone with delegation to hand out. At that point quality and value can get lost, jibberish will suffice, I see it everyday.
