I don't consider it gambling.

What I do consider @randowhale vote is a boost on your post which most likely attracted other whales, dolphins, and minnows to VOTE and bring your post much higher from before, right?

I don't know how much carry on effect the @randowhale vote had. That's why I was saying that I should've used a younger post. There wasn't enough daylight left before payout.

Let me try explain it, your post if I remember right was like $4-$5 after the @randowhale vote which means it must of been at .50 cents to $1.00 before the @randowhale

Now, during those 2 days left on your post, other whales and dolphins and minnows saw your $4-$5 post and most likely read it and commented on it as well as voted on it to bring your final payout above $9.00.

So you may call it gambling if you must.

I don't.

Ok, I get it. I was looking at it from the wrong perspective. I see what you're saying. Thanks for bearing with me. I can be quite thick at times. lol
