Honestly, when the anti-self-voting fiasco was going down, this was one of my pet peeves...people would randowhale upvote their own posts (and even comments, in some cases) about the evils of self-upvoting. I'm pretty mellow when it comes to allocating your VP, but the hypocrisy was just too much at times.
"I don't self-vote, but Randowhale is fine" is sadly something many people seem to think. People are weird.
it was more people making a comment on your post, NOT upvoting you, and upvoting themselves that irked me.
That is either because they were too infatuated with their own voices - or they believed in the profitability of up-voting their own comments since they ran out of their own posts to self-up-vote.
I do believe that as services such as randowhale see their voting power decline to critical levels due to saturation, we will see the rise of randowhale satellites (with their own voting power pools and a LOT of delegated Steem Power.
And that seems to be one way to game the system... as diminishing voting power is one of the only mechanisms by which the pool is not "raped", correct?
Yep. I am thinking of examining booster next to see what we can find there.
I agree, and I think it's because everybody needs a boost to get more exposure for their posts.
People are lazy, it's possible to work for your exposure. Join chatrooms. Befriend people. Be active in the community. Write content people want to read.
With work there comes success, but people want the shortcut.
All that work doesn't always pay off, especially for the small minnows. Curation is difficult now, there's so many posts every day, and only so much voting power available. A lot of people are holding onto their votes now to preserve their voting power, so it's not getting spread around.
