I learnt from your post the necessity of powering up and am trying to do it. Yet to set auto votes, I tried it sometime last week and my voting power was down to point zero. So for some day I did not curate much as I removed the auto upvote.
But now I think I will try and go back and set my autovoter so that I can be able to earn more steem power.
Thank you for sharing.
We'd definitely need better tools for autovotes (perhaps some parameters to consider frequency of posting and such) because like you mentioend, too easy to deplete voting power..
I think so too.
