I completely agree Hive account@streetstyle .
Ideally Hive account@blueorgy, if i am not mistaken, in order to increase your chances of "catching a whale" one would need to keep firing away at the prime directive. That is to generate new, genuine content while simultaneously aiming to do so in a way that brings value to yourself and others in SteemEcosystem, or winning a whale over by providing content or a solution that specifically caters to a whale's interests and investments. Timing is important, but generating genuine value would increase your chances much more I would think.
