HIVE Vote is one method I use to auto-curate authors I trust on this platform. You can set the limits at which auto-voting occurs. I choose a 70% limit on my end. If voting power drops to 70%, auto-voting stops until I'm at full power.
Other times, if I'm studying for finals or writing a project paper, or working nights:
- Skim through their post and vote.
- Bookmark the post
- Come back to the post when I'm free and make statements as I feel are necessary.
There's never any time-limit with making comments. Sure, you could lose out on any rewards for commenting, but I'm more concerned about engagement than maximizing my curation for comments.
