You can't knock someone for being a tit person and uninterested in the technical side of Steemit.
I don't think the OP was having a go at ordinary steemers (who are dolphins and minnows) - of course they just vote for stuff they like or understand. He was making a point that all the $10k plus posts have whales including the developers voting them up (which is why they make so much). And those same people arn't voting security posts. It is a valid point.
Of course the whales may be not voting up security posts because they don't want to draw attention to them. But they could do an alternative method of payment, like simply transferring steem directly to whoever found the flaw.
Thanks, you understood it!
It most certainly a valid point, agreed. Somewhere in my Steem filled heart I gotta believe that, like you said, they aren't up voting security posts to avoid unwanted attention to holes they're working to plug up, but that they're also watching the boards to identify risks and concerns presented by Steemians. Probably a little romantic of me to think, but they seem so busy and invested And this thing keeps improving
