I am a big manual voter. Sure I have my favourite authors that I upvote but the rest I read and vote for. It gives me a real mix of people that can receive my vote.
There is something I really dont like about autovoting although I have been sorely tempted to use it.
But then I worry, if I give in and set up auto voting, I will be essentially phoning it in and not investing as much. It's a tough one. I can totally understand why people use them. I put every bit of effort into all of my posts as if I wasn't on a list but I have seen that some people take advantage of autovotes with multiple shitposts.
Man, I had better stop or this will become a post in a minute!
