Yes this has actually been on my mind as well,, If their voting power has depleted it which I doubt since most people who do are that big wouldn't do so.
It's understandable if the author has too low steem power to actually make a difference but still voting is a sign of gratitude and people who do stop and spend time to read their post and comment should be shown gratitude you wouldn't be on the top otherwise.
But I guess people just see it differently or perhaps there's something I do not see yet.
Thanks For commenting. I think they do not understand the benefits of giving. Give and you should receive is the old saying. I do not understand the mindset of these big whale i look at posts and author replies but does give the comment money and the author has near 1,000,000 Steem Power
Yes there are plenty of those big whales that do not give back to the people that comment and i do not think they would have the time to be looking around in the new posts section to help out us newcomers either they would be to busy thinking about their next post.
But of course not all whales are like this, some of them do give back to the people who participate in the discussion and the benefits is quite simple really. people would feel appreciated and they will be reading their next post. Essentially, expanding their fan base.
Just re-steemed I think people should be aware of this if they aren't already.
Yeah some whales are good but most i think dont pay it back enough Thanks yes it important both sides need to support each other growing one's fan base a person need's to listen to there readers and support them with the reward's there deserve for taking time to read and write
