Now we just have to plug in the numbers in each variable and see the numeric result.

This is, of course, an approximation, but I think this is enough to illustrate an idea. I also am not sure in which form we will compensate a whale. It's one thing when a whale was intending to comment but didn't comment because of the new compensation rule, or she didn't comment simply because they didn't read the post.

As far as the coefficient k it seems to be a logarithmic function. So it is possible that if I know what this function is I'll be able to give a better estimate.
