The problem with this is that auto-vote bots are generally programmed to vote for a set of “known good” authors, instead of voting based on the contents of individual posts
This scenario simply demotivate quality and good content creator. Because of these high stake holders auto voting, even a single picture or a shit contents worth more within min of posting.
I have been advocating for manual curation since long and now a proposal to get it right seems genuine....however there is one more scenario, where, if a post is manually curated and that was supported by a voting trail..like in case of @curangel or @ecotrain or @indiaunited reducing the curation would certainly lowers the return to the voters as they rely on these big names to make use of their HP stakes....
Auto voters does suck out the Hive reward system and we must focus on manual curation to support the fair reward distribution on Hive...
