Once you joined steemit, your main aim is to know what you want to do on the platform, On so many occassion to be sincere with the little experience i have.
So many people joined steemit for the money but ofcourse steemit is more than just about the money.
Though the money is one of the main motivation to create content, if its not why then do whales create content, if its not about the money then whales are supposed to just curate quality content because even with that they earn something it might not be up to author reward though but because its not about the money so their aim everyday is to look for quality content to curate.
But as it is, its quite obvious many of us are here because of the money, fuck the etiquette many stemians yell to minnows everyday, we are not too different from each other, all we as a minnow needs is just to invest buy tons of sbd and power-up and yeah, since its about the money why not lease an sp and become a whale for 1-4weeks depending on how long your lease is gonna last.
Minnows are finding it difficult everyday to survive on steemit , the issue of exhausted bandwidth is something else, and i believe this is going to continue there are more rules coming to restrict minnows from participating in activities of this community kudos 
He nailed it with some few point he is a good man and he has the minnows at heart.
If this rules keep coming in, then how is steemit different from what is happening in the world right now, steemit will turn to the survival of the fittiest, whereas that is not in my opinions what steemit stands for, the growth of a crypto is measured by its acceptance, but before that it has to have a number of actual human voting it in, if this rules keep coming the numbers of steemians will dwindle and we all know what that means to this crypto(sbd/steem).
Bitcoin is in a level where it doesn't need to convince people anymore, steemit (sbd/steem) is not on that level yet we need to encourage the minnows.
To the whales "minnows are your hype" because they are the majority, Ask 
A little hello from a whale to a minnow can mean a lot.
Pls do not discard minnows, they are essential to all our growth here on steemit.

Educating and integrating minnows to this platform is a great task, some steemain i mentioned above have ticked all the boxes in that aspect, but because they can't be everywhere all the time, therefore we take it upon ourself to create a pletform where minnows will be taken care of, i mean 24/7 response to questions, tutorials on different aspect of the ways minnows can use to survive on steemit, this initiative goes to the grassroot level, it assumes as a minnow you don't know much and you need a lot of help, there are competent moderators on hand who will attend to any questions asked, its a new initiative so all we ask is fellowship you can follow
