Yeah, I think I had some of the negative whale bashing memories from people posting when I thought of it being called that. Which is part of my reaction, plus it is possible (and likely more so in the future) to end up on trending without a whale vote. So calling it whale picks will encompass almost everything there but, there will be exceptions. It seems to be focused exclusively on highest payout posts... which almost always will be whale picks.
If we did a PR campaign to spin the minnow, dolphin, whale type things as actual ranks and achievements then this might actually be a cool label for that column. It'd be cool I think as others have said to gamify the system more. Have achievements, badges, etc as part of the platform. :) That is primarily just a website thing and would not need to be implemented at the blockchain level.
Third reply... sorry. It is theoretically possible for something to get onto the Trending page with out whale votes. It'd just take a phenomenal amount of up votes. Yet it is still possible. So if we called it "whale picks" it is possible (though currently highly unlikely) that you could end up with something there that wasn't actually picked by a whale. :)
Yes it is. That doesn't mean it is good for the platform to call it as such.
I think it's great. It's ocean-themed. Just like Dory.
