A hot, interesting topic. I learned a lot from both the post and the comments. Thank you! If I understood correctly, the majority would be against the automation of the vote. My opinion, if you want an opinion from someone who is at the bottom of understanding how the voting process, algorithms and other finesse work.
I consider this auto-voting a useful tool. To encourage beginners ... (I remember my first months in Steemit, after dozens of posts I worked for hours the result was $ 0.00. I knew I couldn't expect consistent rewards but that 0.00 gave me a sense of worthlessness and pushed me into depression. Of course, as a beginner I still didn't know about good practices, interaction, how to curate with only 14SP? Luck came from friends, @dswigle can tell how she convinced me not to give up.)
... to feel that they are being observed! We can find some beginners with a decent, good posting history, and vote not with a very high percentage but enough to mean something to the recipient. Otherwise, now I'm talking about myself, when I found a beginner that I liked, I watched his posts for a while, I voted but then I was attracted to something else, I went in another direction and forgot about him.
In three years on the platform I met many very talented colleagues with whom I interacted for a while and then I stopped because time does not allow me to read, vote and comment on dozens of daily posts ... then I lost touch. An automation of voting I think helps to stay connected to those people. So the vote on the person not on the content. Because I knew that the content is always quality!
