RE: ALERT! Steemians Are LOSING $1000USD Per Week To Randowhale When The Vote Isn't Completed Fast Enough!
I have been messing around with @randowhale, although it seems to generate some USD earned (I thought I got lucky with several > 4% votes), over time this seems to disappear.
When checking payout with Steemvp.com (great tool btw) I saw that 8 votes which cost me 16 SBD paid me 10 SBD so OVERALL I LOST money with Randowhale even with "lucky" high votes.
There are 2 situations where I see it being worth something:
A) to "seed the pot" so directly after posting you give it a bit of a visible boost
B) 12 hours before payout (I think) because you will still retain most of the upvote (has not gone down that much before payout yet) Why 12 hrs? The posts stop earning from upvotes 12 hrs before payout I believe.
In my experience, the extra vote might count for something to get some extra eyes on your post, but not much. A few weeks ago the randowhale votes were worth significantly more, so it was well worth the use - but now, not so much.
