@samstonehill Well some of the supporting whales came forward in the comments and acknowledged that they are doing this, only disputing that they were not alts for the main guy and doing so under their own free will agreement.

They can and some do make a huge difference to support the rest of us yes and again that is their free will prerogative to do so.As we saw recently with @iamjamie's post, it makes a huge impact and I for one am thankful for this gift based economy.

I don't feel as great about those "me too" comments and the sneaking around hoping nobody notices, however as you say.. would I do what they do if I could?

Personally I don't think I would, I don't feel good about myself if I'm intentionally over rewarding something of little value. Not saying those who do should or shouldn't do what they do.

After all this is the free, decentralized world we are hoping will empower the many more than the few. I'm sure most of us are agreed it's long past time to let go of that old paradigm.

Here's to wholeness and balance.
