Oh no, we have never stopped trying to find worthy posts and talented authors to support! The issue is that you or I just do not have the SP to make much of a difference with a vote or two. And one or two people do not have the time to curate at anything close to this scale, though certainly every bit counts. With the voting power behind these whales, we can reward and continue to encourage a LOT of talented and hardworking people, and bring their work to the attention of the community.
