Whales and whale-like groups have (unfair) advantages on the influence on posts.
With greater power comes greater responsibility.
I disagree somewhat. I fail to see it as unfair that a user uses the stake he has paid or worked for. Everyone is allowed to buy more stake, and the purpose behind SP is to gain influence on the platform.
This is also why I accept the experiment; whales are using their stake as they see fit. It's in the code. This is a voluntary platform, and people can leave if they like. They can also build a competing platform if they so choose.
However, stakeholders carry responsibility by default: the value of their stake.
If people cash out and leave the platform, the value of a whale's stake plummets, and he loses.
With that being the case, it's impossible to have power without responsibility.
Therefore, there's no need to manually add an artificial "responsibility".
Downvoting is also in the code.
Yes, that was my point when I said that I can't argue with your experiment.
