Just like lootboxes are bought in small quantities by a majority of users in many videogames.
Isn't that the exact opposite of what happens? Most people buy nothing, but a small percentage of users (the aforementioned whales) put a ton of money in.

Mabye in some games, but in TF2, for example, most people FOMO into buying a small amount of cosmetics and/or lootboxes. In most matches the majority of players will have paid cosmetics equipped. The whales in this case buy unusual cosmetics, which provides more income for valve since they are insanely expensive, but the income from regular players isn't neglible either.
