I have no qualms if people want to use randowhale, or booster, or whatever comes up next, because Steemit is a free market and people can choose what they want to do with their own funds. However, I would like more people to understand how the promoted section works because it is more of a benefit to the Steemit eco system. In that it 'burns' SBD, which in turn lowers the amount of SBD in circulation, therefore raising the price and lowering inflation. randowhale has made a killing in SBD while using his high SP to reward people from the pool, which doesn't hurt him at all. Smart business move on his part.
