RE: People who upvote but don't view
I personally don't randowhale or minnowbooster things of my own, unless it is a fund raiser then I will but the money isn't going to me it is going to someone or an organization in need. But I do find both valuable when my VP is down and I want to give a new user a boost and their content deserves more than my drained power can give. I think many people use them in the wrong way but when they are properly used to give others a boost I have no issues with it. The Auto voting bots I do have issues with though. And I look at it like this if I tip $1 to someone because their content deserves it, it is better to give them the randowhale instead because it is normally more than what you pay into it that it gives as a reward. Same with minnowbooster. But I only use them if the content is really good and my VP is drained.
I know that it can be used for good. It's just human nature that so many people DON'T use the booster services that way. And once one person uses it for a self-vote someone else feels like they're now missing out because they didn't use it, so they use it, and someone else does it.. and so on and so on...
Don't worry, I still respect you and know that you're absolutely one of the good ones on here! :)
