"Whale Picks" is only negative if you market that way. Steemit should go with a branding strategy built around whales, including a Whale logo and a "Whale's Picks" link replacing "Trending". Everybody wants to be a whale, in this place, so it is already built into the zeitgeist that is Steemit. Instead of fighting this, go with it, use it, capitalize upon it. There is no major company using whales right now, except perhaps Shamu for Sea World and the mis-recognized whale that is Charlie the Tuna.

This is true.... we all happily show our badges with minnow, whale, dolphin, etc. It could be spun positively and then labeling it as such might not be a bad move. Yet without that it becomes subjectively positive or negative.
I do think it is funny my badge shows me as a dolphin. When really to be a dolphin I believe I need at least 100m vests. I only have 16m.
I always thought of you as a dolphin... eyes of the beholder! :)
As far as power... the break down seems to be as follows: https://steemd.com/distribution
Newbie (0.01 - 0.09m), User (0.1 - 0.99m), Super User (1 - 9.99m), Hero (10 - 99.99m), SuperHero (100 - 999.99m), Legend (1000m+)
So if we translate that to the ocean we should have a lot more levels than minnow, dolphin, whale.
Whale would obviously be the Legend.
Dolphin I usually thought was the Super Hero level...
Though there are a lot of missing levels so perhaps Dolphin could span several of those ranks.
It'd be cool to actually break this into many levels and have badges and such. :)
EDIT: Plankton, Minnow, Fish, Dolphin, Whale, Kraken :P
oooooh the KRAKEN!
That's the top spot or 10 lol
I agree. Steemit is a game, so we might as well capitalize on what it is in reality.
