Yeah, you are right. I think alot of whales may just be some "business-man" trying to make money, whilest others seem to be some kind of "happy world sissies" who don't dear to use their power. Now trough out history, these business-men have never truly been intrested about taking power, they just buy "lisence of power" if it is sold, and move when there is no longer profits to be made. Maybe "ironically" this steemit will be proof of working "trickle-down economics", as content creators rise who curate comments on their own videos, eventually making everyone on the "team" go up. However in a long term that kind of thing may not last, as leaders are few, even fewer than those who dare.
