I've been using upvoting services for quite some time now. After I lost over 100USD to @buildawhale and a friend loosing over 300USD to them a well, I have not been able to patronise them again.

@buildawhale is an upvoting bot that never refunds for no genuine reasons best known to me. Its painful how people (whales) still allow such up voting bots to function.

I'll rather prefer charging me a percentage of my bid to refund me the rest if I made a mistake in my bidding.

But @buildawhale and other bots like @appreciator never refunds.

This sounds more like depriving a plankton a chance to ever be a whale. You absorb the little we have when we make wrong bids and leave us stranded.

Going through @yabapmatt 's not tracker, I discovered he has added @buildawhale among bots that refunds wrong bids. But hell No that's far from the truth.

On @buildawhale 's "About Me", @themarkymark still sticks to his no refund policy.

There is no Whale who's using this services. That is, only those actively fighting a #SteemWarAgainstPoverty use their little cash to purchase these services. How right is it when they're indirectly extorted and further crippled in poverty?

Going through @buildawhale 's blog post. I saw a user raising a cry.

Guest what, @themarkymark could not visit the user's wallet and activity to confirm his claim but rather waved away refunding the poor boy.

To @themarkymark , more than 50SBD might be gotten over a single post. But most of us, could only gather that in months. Why still deny us the right to earn and continue our #SteemWarAgainstPoverty

I therefore plead with @buildawhale and @themarkymark to not misinterpret my post but rather with stop services till they could refund bots automatically or do that manually and better charge the users for that.

They say charity begins at home, and as I wage a #SteemWarAgainstPoverty , I think its right to fix home. So I'll be bold enough to get more users to this awesome platform.

Thanks...

Yours Sincerely
