I hear you. Over the course of my time on Steem/Hive, I have been working on (and extending) a list of people that I want to support with my autovotes and I think it is safe to say I read like 90% of those posts afterwards when I have time for that. I know it´s still not perfect from the ethical point of view but I can live with that. By not using autovotes, you really miss out on the curation rewards, unfortunately... Obviously, you can live with that too :)

That's why I don't mind the auto votes. A lot of folks do show up, eventually. I'm actually happy they're being rewarded for my efforts. Getting paid to be entertained is an incredible concept. I still do okay with curation rewards doing it manually and often voting late. The world needs late voters like me to get higher rewards anyway, so I'm taking one for the team.
That´s very kind and unselfish of you. You have my respect. And yeah, the concept of getting paid for being entertained is incredible indeed. I would even say revolutionary. Let´s just hope it works better and lasts longer than on Steem.
It is revolutionary. I've been writing about it for years. Steem had it backwards. They were attempting to appeal to the content producers. "Get paid to create content." Right? But, most content producers already know they can get paid, and don't need anything new, plus some are already established so attempting to move their following somewhere else only harms their brand.
Content producers are always a minority. If there's a stage, there's one on it, and thousands of consumers surrounding the stage. That's where the money is. Those people. The consumers. All they need is something they enjoy, and that can be anything. A token needs to be in high and steady demand for it to succeed. A thousand content producers want to sell those tokens. Millions of consumers are the ones who will buy them. The entertainment industry in a nutshell, fused with crypto.
Excellent summary, I can only agree. I remember, in one of your posts, you referred to your blog as a shop and the readers as customers. Wishing many happy customers to all good shops open on Hive :)
Yes and even added in some simple math that day to help prove the point.
That's an impressive memory you have there!
My mediocre memory just has its moments sometimes ;)
