If you place people on autovote you can make it to only vote on them if you have a certain amount of voting mana.

I have people on autovote but it doesn't automatically vote for them since my voting mana is in the 25% range.

But if I stop using Steemit for a while the autovotes will kick in. I hope this helps!

Hey, @chrisrice.

Thanks for the comment. It's good to know about the voting mana, etc. I guess my issue is, I'd rather read and upvote. I know some people autovote and check in periodically to make sure their upvotes are still going to someone adding value. I could try that. The problem is, that seems like it could be a lot of work, too, if only an ongoing inconvenience. If I'm going to check in, why not just read as much as I can and upvote accordingly?

Anyway. There are many ways to go about this, and each one of us need to find our own comfort zones.

It doesn't make sense but people are doing just that it seems. If I vote for something I have read it.
