Hahahahahaha....at that point I pity the dolphins and the whales because how many people can you possibly follow or help at a time? I guess you just have to try either way

As the platform grows so will the number of Dolphins and Whales. A nice and steady wave of minnows joining is ideal. Although, a tidal wave could cause short term problems but all will even out in the long run. But through it all if we reward 'original content' and deliver 'original content' the future for Steemit is secure.

Well thought out. The challenge is on the immediate. How the minnows feel as soon as they join. A very bad feeling of discontent can only increase churn rate.

So true! And that's where curation comes in - and not just by whales.
