Since HF-19, I've been constantly asking myself, "Is it really worth using a whale vote bot like @randowhale, @booster, or @minnowbooster?" And i'm starting to think that it is almost useless...
Before Hf-19, my posts would never go down. Now after HF-19, before payout, the amount of money I make on the post goes down by over 50%, which is a shame. Many people are experiencing the loss of money on their posts. And I have found a way to help the money go down less...but it still goes down. If you want to learn how, check out my post:

But anyways...Since the amount of money you make on your post goes down over 50 % after HF-19, is it even worth it to use whale voting bots? Let say for example, I use @randowhale. I pay 2 SBD and I get a vote on my post that makes it go up like 5 bucks when the post made nothing before. So the post is at 5 bucks. By the time its payout, you will only get about $2.50 in USD which is currently less than 2 SBD. So you are actually losing money. Or if you were to use @booster and spend more than 2 SBD and you get a decent vote, but it goes down...and you end up with less than you paid. So if you use any of these whale voting bots, it is really not worth it. Same thing goes for @minnowbooster...Because...
1- When using a voting bot, you are not guaranteed the bot will give you a good vote.
2- Since Hf-19, the amount of the money you make on your post will deplete before payout by 50% or more, so by the time you get your pay out, you get less than you actually invested. > :(
Need I say more?
So when you use these boosting services, it's possible to make a little money, but you have to time it right. But for the most part, you're going to lose money. HF-19 SUCKS!
