I don't quite understand how you're going to "insure" the success of steemit....who's going to to take on this insurance policy?

Why whales are needed - and a proposal to insure the massive success of steemit, ie Subtractive Upvoting Gradient
I dont mean insurance in a literal sense, but in a practical sense. The only negative I am hearing about steemit is that the whales have too much power, but as I write, this power is needed. So, like in the real world, the millionaires all do charity work. That way the masses accept them as they directly or indirectly benefit from the massively wealthy.
Already steemit is close to a viral propagation and explosion, so if the retention rate issue is solved, then that "insures" its success based on the fact that people like money. So if to choose between not getting paid and posting on facebook or posting on steemit and getting paid, then most will choose the latter. All that is needed is for there to be no big negative, like envy.
but if the entire system is tilted so that the rich upvote for the less rich, all the way down the line, the envy part is for the most part squelched.

Steemit & Steem isn't all about upvoting, the whole system is growing. The fact tat whales upvote or note will be more irrelevant on the future.

Its a mad house here , the only ones who can insure the success of steemit are whales as they are the ones who are the most invested in the platform but currently they are not doing something which can be applauded.

thank you for changing your downvote! I really am trying to help all the whales and steemit in general and similar to the NXT founder's the steemit founders will be plagued by enormous amounts of envy. If this isnt addressed, I fear that steemit growth will get a ceiling and really it isnt that much to sacrifice for the whales to only get upvotes from bigger whales. Maybe @ned would be gracious and upvote the whales who are not getting appropriate upvotings due to a change like this
