yeah that don't make no sense, how can they get away with that, who runs this thing anyway?
who are the Whales also? where do you find them and how do you know someone is a Whale?
and what are their reputation numbers like?

I don't have any firm definitions ... but I'm gathering anyone 60+ in rating who gets three figures every time they post is a "whale." I'm sure some are good people and have the best interests of the site in mind. We need to identify the good ones as best we can, and vote for them for witnesses. You can youtube up "steemit witnesses" and there are some good explanations, Jon. Please do upvote this post if you like it. Thanks!

K. thanks
