All the people who are mostly criticizing are whales and you might see the same people spreading misinformation intentionally. It does not bother me at all and it reminds me of this quote:

You're comparing your efficiency with one of the most efficient curators on Hive, and even 96% is extremely efficient. You're only able to achieve that level since you're voting on fresh content; aka content where no other stakeholders have voted on before. I'm open to being proven wrong tho'.
And by the way, I'm obviously following curation trails. Who has time to manually curate while losing out massively vs auto-voters? Unless of course, you set up your own community and vote on fresh content.
I already stated the 'why' of it earlier and I don't need to prove anything wrong. Thanks.
