Before you flag me please understand I am trying to give a broad ended feel to what I think as my opinion is best for steemit. You can give me criticism about this all you want do not be shy! I am newer on here and I can see the joys of @randowhale and similar ideas first hand. I also see a dark side that does not get noticed on here.

Second of all Id like to thank the person who created @randowhale for providing me with some more steem you do not get enough thanks.

Here is a picture of the guy he is a badass for sure! everyone clap for him @randowhale

Everyone on here knows of @randowhale. I use it for a majority of my posts that get a lot of attention. He She It ai whatever gives me the steem I need at crucial points when I do it. Sometimes posts that I will have 40.00 on will give me a whopping 20-30 bucks more. For only 2sbd too.

When to use randowhale

I see a trend with @randowhale where his votes are giving me less and less. I do not care about that really. That is partially to limit the times that people vote and voting power and the new HARD FORK! In order for you to have a great exchange for @randowhale you have to have more then 2sbd worth of votes. The more the better! I would say 10 dollars minimum for your post is a good number to start. Plus the more that @randowhale receives the more its vote will be worth!

That brings me to another thing about it is when you are starting from the bottom it is a risk like gambling to get a post higher and higher. When @randowhale appeared out of nowhere I'd get 20 bucks for a 0.00 cent post. Which would lead to people checking my information out because it is a 20 dollar post instead of a 0.00. I see new people on here and I think to myself they should not use @randowhale till a post is going to gain more than 2bds. So that way you have the chance to get your fair share. So the first couple of weeks you might not even see 10 bucks for a post. My fear is that @randowhale will need a higher and higher entry level to even use it in the first place. So you will see a bunch of people who keep on getting higher and higher using @randowhale while the new people come in and do not get a shot. If this gets crazier more and more people will be left behind and they will need to catch up by depending on people's votes when if you do this at the lowest level it is super hard to get those votes not everyone likes your stuff etc etc. On top of that the price of @randowhale might be upped even causing even more people being left behind.

The hardfork fixes things a bit and makes things harder as well. First of all the new people can only do a limited amount of votes for their level. If they stay on steemitchat and they target minnows, you will be stuck with a few bucks a post never getting higher and higher. Only after a long grind would you have a money and your votes would mean somthing. That also means @randowhale might mean nothing till the grind is over. You might be lucky and get a 5% vote but what are the odds of that?

Big Bad Problem 1.

Onto the next big bad thing. What If I talked about a idea where people just continually buy votes from different vendors. A vote here a vote there. It would make steemit a paid for website instead of you freely contributing what you want and different people interact with you and you get attention by having someone read your content. If anything this will lead to not one person being different from the next and all posts are meaningless because you will just get paid for paying a bot to upvote you. It also leads to people getting the same amount of pay all the time. It also kills the community basis for this website which is the main reason WHY people get money on here. The littlest of the little gets trickle down upvotes and the highest of the high might take advantage of this style of steemit and try to limit the people. Steemit needs individualized content to survive in the world. If this does happen I think this will be unsustainable in the long run and it would lead to great changes restoring the old way of doing things on the platform.

That being said this is all speculation in my brain and me looking at it from another point of view. Maybe I went to parrallel universe where STEEM existed but your votes do not mean anything and if you pay for votes you will get a expansive price to your content. This might not even happen. I want steemit to stay this way but it cannot stay like this forever. I like the mixture of community and bots that help you out. None of this might happen but this is just a warning to what can happen on here. I hope it don't Please I hope it dont . This community is great and I never want to see it end.
