After a week in steemit, i've started to see a pattern of conduct in the users, Which i'll like to call <strong>#WhaleHunting.</strong><br> <br> "Many new users are piling onto any post they see with a dollar value beneath it" quoting @gavvet on this. Basically when the new users or minnow (as we are called) see that a post with 10 votes is worth 100$ they can't help to vote and comment, even if they are not adding anything useful to the conversation. Everyone wants a piece of cake in these kind of posts, which quickly unleash a Domino effect.<br> <br> <br> <strong>The Domino effect in Steemit</strong></p> <p>All it takes is 1 vote from a Super Whale, Whale or a heavy Dolphin to ignite the spark, simple as this: <strong>Whale>Money>Minnow>More Whales></strong> <strong>more Minnows</strong>, same with comments, 80% of the time it's just random blabber with a "notice me senpai" attitude, some people doesn't even read the post before upvoting or commenting, all they want is be part of something succesful. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Thank you for reading, please leave a comment.<br> <br> <br> <br> </p> </html>
