I totally agree with you! Whale votes is obviously amazing in its own way, but I would rather work my way up, grow my audience along with my stake and generate more rewards with time instead of a whale vote every now and then. A fat paycheck is nice, but getting smaller ones regularly has more of an impact in the long haul.

Due to manual curation, we can grow the entire community, one step at the time, and that will strengthen us, and the results will be a solid, strong foundation to build upon. This, manual curation and rewarding comments even gives users who aren't familiar with- or comfortable enough to produce fully-blown articles a superb chance to grow as it's easier to write a comment than an article. So it's a win/win/win situation.

• A win for the overall engagement.
• A win for users who don't produce articles.
• A win for the curators, as they don't have to sacrifice any of their rewards.
