I noticed the payout time was close too.
I noticed one big voter was thejohalfiles. I've written about this particular whale's voting pattern before (it's for a lot of spam/junk/reposts) in my bookingteam coverage. I think it might be on autovote somewhere, though, like streemian.
Retracted, I remembered the wrong name. Apologies, see below for additional info.
Check Steemd.com. My suspicion he is the account owner of all three of them: chainflix, cartoontv and musicbox. Check also ipfs-movies, only one movie, but that is where it all started. When you go through steemd.com for those account you will get another impression of this whale and that it may not be auto voting.
I'd like to retract my previous statement, I was remembering names wrong. thejohalfiles had nothing to do with my previous article. it was a few other whales involved.
(Also I think s/he's voted on some of my articles, for full disclosure.)
Previous article I misremembered names from:

Bookingteam.com LOL but WTF how they did it and what support it gets, must be one of the inner circle setting it up.
They bought a substantial stake, the 3 main whales who run the ring.
Bought or given/taken? Maybe the early birds and something to do with the company that all started this.
Could be, I guess. I initially tried flagging their posts, but it was pointless.
As a terminal devil's advocate addict, I'll say that if they got it as an early bird, than they paid with their time by being a lot better informed than I was. That's worth some value.
I've seen Henrik when I started at Steemit, he was/is part of the Curie Guild vote train. Always thought these accounts are good, somehow.
