I personally prefer to just power up myself =\ The bot owners call it "Advertising" but honestly, I can't see it as such. It's a waste of money if you ask me, it's better to power up and become a whale, than to throw money at a whale to get a post boosted but still end up losing money in the end just to get your narcissism fix.

LOL, I loved that last bit.
You hit it on the head, power up. There is no such thing as a whale unless they have their money locked into their account by being powered up.
They became a whale somehow, and I can promise you it's not by wasting their money to get other people to vote for their posts to get a negative ROI. They became whales by simply reinvesting in their own accounts by powering up as they went along. =\ It's really not that hard to see and the platform is pretty open for anyone that cares to actually research into the whales.
Most of the whales became whales when Steem was 7 cents, or even lower and mined it.
They also skipped the option to sell it when it spiked. They would not be whales now if they had took that money and ran.
Users who are powered up also gain extra free SP daily for being powered up.
You know I respect you Mark so don't take this as a fight, you know the underlining reason I made this post.
I was just explaining how the whales became whales.
Eh, unfortunately I don't think you can mine Steem anymore, or am I mistaken?
Not anymore, but early on you could. This is how many of the big names became big names.
Interesting. Still exceptionally worried about even getting a vote from someone else via a bot though. Just the very idea that this account can be ruined by someone getting bent out of shape is a little much.
You can be ruined walking down a street by someone bent out of shape.
Rich people have more power than poor people.
Anyone, anywhere can work hard and become rich too.
All of these are true - of Earth... and Steem
Nothing new to see here, in that regard.
