I think you underestimate the power of the dolphins and whales.

My 11,000 HIVEPOWER mixed with my almost 4000 LEO gives a nice little boost, and I would say that it is easier to make friends with 5 little me's than to make "friends" with 1 whale.

Especially when it comes to attracting the downvoters, one whale friend can only take you so far before the downvoters come to town.

Lastly, I agree with the sob story bit. While I do support great content from people who have been here for years and regularly power down and take money out - I only do so because I know they live in places where HIVE income can make a real difference in the today (while for people like me it will make a difference in 30 years) - which means them spending crypto money brings in real life users -

BUT

I really would rather spend my upvotes on people who I know will keep my upvote income in the system.
