Trying to reward the valuable posts on HIVE, instead of automatically upvoting others is a bad thing in the eyes of some... :)
Anyone who thinks is a bad thing probably doesn't have a thing for good content creation, automation of vote probably should mainly be to keep one's vote from getting to getting to 100% and that's it.
However, I don't think a lot of people are expressive about their witness choices, which I think we should do at all times.
