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.
