I'm not aware of any place on this planet which offers free money. All money comes with a price of some kind...with very few, if any exceptions!
What I did notice however was just how few members Whaleshares appears to really have. My estimate is less than 1000 active members...yes, just 1000. In fact, there have been very few posts from anyone within the past few days. Also, I had my account setup for less than 10 minutes when I received my first follower. Some idiot by the name of "fuckit"! Really? And to make matters even worse, that idiot is also listed as a Witness. And I thought Steemit was a cesspool. The fact of the matter is that without a centralized system, and reasonable censorship to control such trash, none of these blockchain forums will ever survive. They are just cesspools where very few decent people will ever stay for long once they see all the garbage. So if that's your style, have fun, but as for me, I'll take a pass.
