I only used RandoWhale once to SEND a vote to Steemtrail. But not for myself. I have not used Whaleshares cause it seems to ask that people show up for give aways, and compete against each other and then in the end one is buying votes. It's fine if it works for others. I see people making 10x's what I make. But it just sounds like facebook and twitter ads where they get you to pay them to be seen, and I thought @steemit was moving away from that. Guess not, it's all good. Capitalism is fine. I'm just also too busy trying to help newbies like you and others get the ball rolling. Hope it all works out for you whatever you do. Cheers!
