Isn't "Whale" a derogatory term used in mobile games for a user that pays a lot of money? It doesn't seem like a great name for a paying user.

To us, whale was just a quirky suggestion that one of our users made to describe themselves as a power-user, and had zero intention of being derogatory. In retrospect, we should've given this more thought before publishing - "not thinking" is certainly no excuse.

After a quick discussion within our team, we've pre-emptively changed this to "Pro" while think of a better title.

Thanks for speaking up, comments like this make Singlelink better for everyone! :)
