RE: Report: Randowhale Self Upvotes - Some disturbing findings.
As someone who does use Randowhale to increase my profits some, I was just glad to see I wasn't on the list. I only use it when I have a special post that I'd like to give more attention to as well as increasing rewards (for contest purposes mainly) to allow for larger rewards and earnings.
Once I'm in the next level and can really afford to push some SBD to @randowhale, I'd really like to start finding my favorite posts from other authors to generate revenue for them.
Thanks for this very interesting peek into the numbers, @holoz0r.
I have a very Utopian view of the use of randowhale to allow me to upvote content more than a single 100% personal upvote will allow.
I think that this study shows that the "promotion" button is made redundant by intiatives like randowhale and booster; and perhaps we need to rethink the promotion functionality of steemit.
To me, a promotion button would be something that allows outsiders to the Steemit community to "upvote" an article. I don't know how it would work, but perhaps being put in a cyclical ad space might offer this, and then non-steemians can enjoy and donate.
exactly! why pay for promotion when user have to go click the button... it's like paying to hide a post.
