A quick duel between @randowhale vs @minnowbooster pay4vote bots. I let them loose on my previous post and here is the result.
@randowhale - sent 1 SBD
Before:
After:
4.3% upvote
Diff:
$2.46 - $0.98 = $1.48
Projected outcome:
Around $0.55 SBD and an equivalent amount in SP.
@minnowbooster - sent 1 SBD
Before:
After:
$1.83 @upgoat
Diff:
$4.41 - $2.46 = $1.95
Projected outcome:
Around $0.95 SBD and an equivalent amount in SP.
The Result
@minnowbooster outperformed @randowhale by 1.32 : 1.
A quarter more. Not a big difference. Next time it could be the other way around.
I didn't summon other pay4vote bots which operate within time intervals and divide their votes according to the amount invested. These bots are @bellyrub, @discordia, @booster, ...
More Pay4Vote Bots?
I know that there are more pay4vote bots running around Steemitverse. Can you name them?
Which one is your favourite?
In the end, what is your opinion about these bots? Do they serve any useful purpose? in the long run? Are they yunkenabled?
Undercover photo was taken by me in Vulkanija, no connection with the content, obviously.
I just wanted to make a quick point about the Steem power, did you check them before making the comparison as it could affect the overall vote amount. I know randowhale also has another account it automatically votes from time to time again. Plus there is the randowhale bonus for using it so much..but we can talk about that another time.
I use randowhale and minnowbooster myself they have been good to me, lol

@jawaida
Hello and thanks for your thorough reply.
No, I didn't take into account the SP at the time of the summon. You do mean steem power of the bots, don't you? The bots act differently, anyway.
BTW: how come your comment has 8 upvotes and a higher reward than my original post? Can you let me in on this secret? :) Thanks ;)

Yes... I remember using randowhale in the past amazing, but now it has reduced in value..
Oh my 8 votes, not much of a secret something I learnt on my journey.
I have been a regular user of the Esteem App, so if you look at my upvote on my comment they are like bonuses and tips given by the App and different users of the app. Good karma is the esteem developer but it runs out after a day or so, I dunno how it works just yet. I might get like 10 comments in which I am tipped before it runs out. Then I wait a day or two and it's tipping me again.. I did ask good karma he just said it was bonus

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, good-karma and his work is familiar to me. Maybe I should try out eSteem :)
Have a great day.

I don't use them as I do okay anyway. I'm not sure they benefit Steemit as a whole as the quality of the content getting the vote is not considered.
I did try one that votes up promoted posts, but I think I made a loss on that. I rarely look at the promoted tab and I wonder if many people do.

I share your doubt about the quality. I guess this rise of the pay4vote bots is another aspect of maturing of the platform. A phase to go through :)
Good to hear from you. Thanks!

I think we will see lots of experiments like this. The community will decide if they want them

My randowhale was mostly positive before HF19.
After HF19, I had a couple of negative and decided to stop.
Not sure if the HF cause some scenario to change

It depends, as far as how I use it, it is not for wealth rewards more like promotion. Since if your rep- followers is low but you want to have a voice and be read you might someone notice and vote, since the higher price the post has the more people will wonder and read or restreem. People would give you different answers and reason of their use. Usually I have used @randowhale and some of my followers have @upgoat me.
