Everything you need to know about 
Hive account@randowhale and how/if you should be using his service. A simple way to look at it all.
So we all seen posts receiving these comments from Hive account@randowhale.
Many users still don't know what it means.
Today I will be telling you the Good the Bad and the Ugly of using Hive account@randowhale.
Let's start of with what exactly Hive account@randowhale is. It's an account with a lot Steem Power, as we know: More Steem Power = Bigger Upvote. If and when you transfer 2 SBD to Hive account@randowhale with a link of a post (your own or a friends) then that post will get upvoted by Hive account@randowhale. Neat right? YES and NO! Let's go into the details and at the end I will tell you exactly how and why to use Hive account@randowhale.
Hive account@randowhale is an account set up by a user that also wants to make money just like us. So in reality he wants to provide a service where both parties benefit. Thus, he is constantly working on his service to make it better for us steemians and for himself. Why provide a bad service, right?
Hive account@randowhale can upvote your post with a vote between 1% and 5%. This seems like a small amount but with 637,700.976 SP it really ain't no joke. A 5% upvote could be worth well over $5.
So the good thing about Hive account@randowhale is that if he upvotes your post for the fee of 2SBD you might walk of a richer steemian.
This service is great for newer users that spend hours on hours creating content but are not yet recognized by the community. It's a decent way to get some payouts for their efforts.
Not that we know we can get an upvote from him we are all eager to pay the 2SBD and get our awesome whale vote. The simple bad thing here is that if you get an upvote of 1% you basically lost money. The other thing to consider is that Hive account@randowhale is still a type of curator just like any other user so even if he gives you an awesome 5% vote, a small portion of the payout gained will still go to him.
Voting power is something to take into consideration. Less Voting Power = Less Upvote Reward. Hive account@randowhale knows this too, he is a smart whale after all! The solution? Let Hive account@randowhale rest from time to time. He also got Hive account@randowhale a sidekick; 
Hive account@randowhale1 helps out whenever the voting power of Hive account@randowhale runs a bit low.
This is not all bad though, the odds are in your favor. From what I have seen and witnessed I think it is safe to say that even with the price of SBD and Voting Power being taken into consideration any vote above 2% is a win, this is basically a 75% win ratio!.
Just like everything in life there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things. NEVER and I mean NEVER use Hive account@randowhale early on you post. Here are my reasons:
Manual curators who check for posts to upvote normally look for posts that are still pretty new and with low payout. 
Hive account@liberosist and 
Hive account@curie are examples of these curators that might skip over your post completely if you already have a few dollars on it. If those curators skip your post you might be losing out on potentially hundreds of dollars. That is if your post any good and not just a spammy post.
Have you seen how the potential payout of your post decreases over time until it reaches payout? (a post about that can be found HERE) So why use Hive account@randowhale early in your post if the profits will just trickle down and then eventually result in you making a loss of your investment. Use Hive account@randowhale at the right time and you will benefit more from this amazing service.
So in short, use that Hive account@randowhale vote on day 6 and nothing later than 6½ days after post creation. This is the window where you will have maximum profits for your Hive account@randowhale vote.
Once more bad thing to address is abusers of this system. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! STOP IT! Don't use Hive account@randowhale upvotes just for anything and everything upvoting your comment that had no significant value to it. Use Hive account@randowhale with respect. Upvote the posts you know deserve it, the ones where you slaved away for hours. Not the one that took you 1 minute to throw together.
You will need to own some SBD and have a post that you would like to upvote.

• Go to your WALLET navigate to Steem Dollars and select transfer from the dropdown menu
• Input Hive account@randowhale as the recipient (NOT 
Hive account@randomwhale or Hive account@randowhale1)
• Enter 2 as the amount
•Paste your link as the MEMO
There you have it the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY of Hive account@randowhale. Should you use him? For sure! He will always improve and work on his service to make it better for us. So far with HF19 and everything else going on he is still doing a great job and offers a good service to this community.
Thank you Hive account@randowhale!
