Welcome, hunters. A new week brings a new chapter on Dark Philosophy. Across the follower community, whispers echo tales of mysterious big spenders emerging from the abyss. This week’s horrifying tale of big dreams and sea monsters I call: THE WHALES!

Whaling is an exploitation model in the follower economy that targets high value individuals, “whales,” who ultimately power an entire operation.
