RE: The Whistleblowers (Series): #8 - Witness to Child Ritual Murder At America's Bohemian Grove Club By George Bush Snr., Ex Pope Ratzinger, US Colonel Michael Aquino (Admitted Head of a Major Satanic Cult), Warren Buffett & Others.
Wow what an article! But putting rando whale on it, not within the first minute but after 10 minutes kinda sucks for curators voting after rando.. Unfortunately I first read half the article before voting, so then rando sneaked in and took my rewards.. I'm leaving my vote for now because I'm not getting back my VP anyways, and you definitely had a lot of work with that article and I never heard of the bohemians.. Except for Queen singing the Bohemian Rhapsody 😁 will keep my eyes and ears open
Thanks for the comment - I don't really know how the curation payments work in terms of who gets what. I also don't have any power to control how long randowhale takes to vote after I send money.
right on the second :D but it usually doesn´t take more than a minute for rando to vote. just do your curators a favor and put rando on your post within the first minutes.
this post doesn´t explain a lot, but it explains something, especially the Timing

thank you
I have seen twice in the last week that randowhale took over 5 minutes to post and I think this was one of the posts where that occurred - it can get backlogged i think.
Don't worry, no need to get investigative, it wasn't an accusation, it was a request to simply have the curation mechanism in mind when using rando..
I understand that you were not accusing me of anything - I was just making clear that I have a problem with randowhale making more than an average salary per year just due to curation payments that could have gone to the authors who paid for the service. If I use randowhale it is to get more eyeballs on the post and to maybe get paid more - I am not doing it for the curators' benefit. I don't expect any other authors to directly pay to boost the earnings of commenters either.
alll right thanks for making your Point clear, didn´t get it in the first place ... but i wouldn´t accuse rando to intentionally delay voting .. it´s just how the System works, if you got a load of Money (crypto or fiat) it´s just very easy to make even more Money - the ones who got get even more ...
you are using rando for the same reason that 80% are using it and that´s a good one! steem on
no problem, I didn't intend to accuse anyone of anything - but at the time I wrote the piece, some vote systems were taking days to make their vote and profiting largely from it in a way that was not being advertised.
hi @ura-soul, perhaps I can shed some light on the subject of curation rewards, how it works is that there is a 30 minute window after one posts an article.
Curation rewards are highest just before the window closes, but you should try to be first while letting the clock tick down, (to 29:59 in a perfect world).
If posting and using randowhale, try to wait the initial 30 minutes for us human curators to get at it!
It's slightly complicated but I hope you get the idea.
peace
I'm not sure i understand your intention here. I wrote previously about how the author receives less and less payout from randowhale, the closer the randowhale vote is made to the 30 minute point. The net result of not posting randowhale early enough is that randowhale's operators make massive amounts of money from curation which could have gone to the author.
Well, my intention was to clarify the issue of curation rewards. I hadn't read your other post. What I am trying to say is that some people like to hunt for good articles to curate, and they can feel burned by bots like rando grabbing curation rewards when clearly the bot doesn't read your articles like we do.
nuff said?
yes, ok - i understand - i generally aim to get the bot in as soon as possible - or not at all.. Usually that isn't a problem, but sometimes there is a delay between me paying for the bot and the vote being cast. I would prefer there were no bots and as far as I can tell, the TOS actually bans bots, but since I used this site for months and got almost no benefit from it - I am willing to continue using the bots to help make my time here worthwhile financially.
You got almost no benefit from using steemit? Wow I thought you were doing well here and I'm sorry to hear that. Personally it's not like I care one way or the other it's everyone's personal choice whether they need to upvote themselves or not or use bots or not, whatever, I'm not here to judge.
I just hope tomorrow is a better day,
peace
Oh, I wasn't clear about what I wrote there. I meant that for the first few months of me posting, most of my posts got no views and not votes, so no payout.. So in other words, I put a lot of time into steemit with no results. Once I did get some responses, I then reposted some of the same content and things were better.
I hear you on that, when I first started posting on steemit I was writing so much stuff I thought people would be interested in~ but there were many things I posted without any votes or income.
It was a little painful to accept but now I don't even care.
peace
