I would say that you are an exception. My earn and that of many other users has only decreased despite the fact that we upload quality content. There is no real concern on the part of the whales to reward the quality of what is uploaded, but only motivates them to seek to add many users. So much so that the whales that are dedicated to the curation follow policies such as the distribution of votes depending on the delegation received, cure every five days to users who request it, etc. And all that in an increasingly automated way. The search for quality content, if at any time existed in these groups, no longer exists.
