Stop telling new users to comment on whales posts!

<center>![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTFJYHrT93cLf4LzKwEj2QBWW392C7tw5cPmgCCGzZaRu/image.png)</center>

## Because that is not *the key* to success on steemit.

I keep reading over and over again, that commenting on whales' posts is the key to success. I am really tired of that. 

FIRST:

### Because WHALES are not objects.
Speaking of good whales (and orcas) there... They are not *something* you can use for your purposes of *success* here or anywhere.

And second:

### Most of them don't care.
Yep, they don't care about you, little plankton, don't care about me, or anyone with a tiny vote. That is the truth.  

### <center>And this is how *we* look:</center>

</center>![comment to whales steemit.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVnL7suBEfyUFpJWMoxLzWoQLU42EozAGq8pEX9YTsNoN/comment%20to%20whales%20steemit.png)</center>

The whales are talking to each other and one of them looks at the dolphins. But all that dust around them is the bunch of plankton and minnow users yelling for attention.

Ok, maybe the plankton is not a spammer, but you get the point.

I don't know if I should call this a rant, a warning, or whatever. JUST.. AH!.. STAP!

OH, and if you are a beginner don't even waste your votes on whales posts... **go help other beginners!!**

Also this was an idea of drawing I had from a long ago, but I could make it until today  :P

Is it bad that I like your rants so much? Cute and concise, with a little bit of spice. :D

Lol, I think of that bald man every time I see my profile pic! Your art intertwined with your rant comes across perfectly.  Art is a universal language :D
