In today's Report from the Shallows we learn that plenty of whales like to stop spammers, unless it is one of their own, then they tend to look away and keep moving.

Clearly the billionaires boys club has a favorite.
Reward pool rape hits retention the hardest, when newbies put effort into posting they know they won't make it to the trending page, but they would like to get a dime, or two, on a post.
All those folks on the trending page get their rewards from the minnows first.
The less stake you, and your voters, have the more gets pulled from you to give to the already rich.
We get action on 
Our reputation on reward pool rape has kept us from getting an 'A' on those Weiss reports of who is who in crypto, I'm told.
Why on earth would anybody, less than rich anyways, want to play the steem game when all they get is the shaft?
I mean, I get that I am a grumpy 
Rarely do I put out feel good conformist crap posts.
But, even when I put out good information on ideas that could help free us from the crapitalusts' bs I only get support from those that support me despite my lack of fuzzy posts.
I'm not going anywhere, I am not here to get rich, but to put out my content.
Maybe change my reader's approach to life.
We can escape the crapitalust paradigm, the path has been laid out by anarchists that came before us.

Instead of going to the top of trending for presenting ideas that most of here claim to want to support, I sit in the doldrums because I have bent tooo many whale feelers with my version of my truth.
Thank you for your support, dear readers, it warms my cold, lonely heart.
Today we learn from 
Dust accounts got 6.2% of the reward pool in the last 12 hours.
Newbies got 12.19%.
Users got 23.94%.
Superusers got 28.62%.
Heroes got 18.28%.
Superheroes and Legends got 9.05%.
That still looks like a pretty good distribution.
Now if we could get more folks to vote on the newbs instead of the already rich maybe we could up our retention rate.
Now we come to 
The same 10 voters, out of 60k+ active users decide to vote ~25% of the reward pool to their favorites.
One out of four sbd given as rewards in the last 12 hours went to these 10 voter's favorites.
Ain't crapitalism great?
If you take a look at the top ten votes, you see the same whales doing this day after day.
The list doesn't change much day to day.
It has improved since I started these shaming reports, used to the top ten voters voted more than 30% of the pool to their favorites.
You, dear reader, have to decide for you what, if anything, you want to do with this information.
I hope you give a vote to the sources of this information, I already have.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying. No war, but the class war!!
How to win in court for far less!!
