Thank you for this! I've been getting a little disheartened with some of the activities on Hive the last 6 months or so. Autovoters, up/down votes on people I think are good content, etc. Would be nice to see these kinds of explanations fromsome of the other big vote swingers and to know their mind set. I know it doesnt seem right for anybody to have to write a post to "justify their vote". But it helps to let people know the mindset of the voter.
The autovoters absolutely drive me nuts. Especially with audio/video content. I get some big votes sometimes and then look at the views on the video and it just isnt no real way to gauge the reason why. Other than theres a lot of autovotes. It sucks. I dont want to make a monetary reward. I want engagement and feedback. I want to know that someone liked my content enough to take the time to view/listen to it. Thats worth more than any amount of autovoters.

Nothing you described was ever any different, from my memory back in the early Steem days up until this point... did it get worse or something suddenly? I've not been too active for a while so I genuinely don't really know what's going on...
I didnt mean Hive itself as a technology. Rather some of the users and their uses of it.
yeah the crux of free transactions/votes, people will utilize it to the max if they can, even if it just means maybe 0.1 hive return after a year of 100k votes.
