You sound a lot like me. I'm also a small-fry that has been largely ignored here, but have been giving away part of my own earnings with the intent of growing the community as a whole. It seems that very few are interested in my initiatives because my wallet is too small and my prizes are not large enough. That's a mistake, because small money grows into big money and sometimes the turtle wins against the hare. Yes, my prizes are small, but they are consistent and over time we can all grow together. I have a few people who have been taking advantage of my offers and we are growing quite nicely together. Like you, I also enjoy seeing the progress people are making. It is that feeling that keeps me here.

Exactly. Size matters... But that's pretty dumb actually.

I mean, just imagine having one person with 100,000 Steem Power. He or she would be able to upvote 10 posts per day, at 100% VP. If that user is a good manual curator, he or she would probably upvote 10 different authors... With a following of, let's say 1000 users, the chances of scoring a single upvote would be slim to none.

Imagine the same amount of Steem Power, 100K, distributed over more people instead. Let's say 10 people. That would basically give you a 10x higher chance of earning something.

That's also one of the reasons I want to strengthen the middle class. It would ultimately yield everyone a higher chance of earning something... But many seems to overlook that.

Ha ha ha... you say it so wonderfully!
I've been saying practically the same thing. The masses chase after the whales hoping for a crumb or one of those juicy big votes, but as you say, the chances of landing one are few and far between. In the mean-time, how many little votes have they forsaken while focusing solely on the whales? As with most things in life, balance is the key.

The shift of power has already begun. The middle-class is growing. Soon, it will be a force larger than the whales. To ignore this class is foolish indeed.

Would've been awesome to get detailed numbers for this actually, but that's obviously impossible. The fact still remains though, that votes slips between fingers while they're trying to catch whale votes... Sad, but true. We'll get the ball rolling with this though, and soon, everyone will understand how important it is with a strong middle class.
