You are correct in that you lose money over time. But, one big issue with what you say. The author makes no money from upvotes after the first 30 minutes. So, paying for randowhale or booster after the first 30 minutes doesn't get author rewards. After 30 minutes, it's a curation reward split up between the people that upvoted. Those bots are a lose lose when it comes to direct monetary compensation.
The 1 benefit I see is that you start your post out with an unvote and some dollars so maybe it'll attract people. It's the tip jar effect. If you have ever worked for tips, rule number 1 is that you put something in the jar to start the day, never have it sit there empty.
