Hi Acidyo, I find very interesting everything you have been sharing lately about rewarding genuine commenters.
The use of automatic voting has its disadvantages and some advantages. In my case due to the bad connection I almost always have I have automated my vote so as not to miss the posts of a few hivers. However whenever I can (almost always at some time of the day) I read each of the publications that I vote automatically, comment on those that I consider and vote others manually. This way I alternate between my manual and automatic voting. Greetings.
Yeah I'm not saying autovotes are bad necessarily, but if left unchecked for long they can have somewhat bad consequences on authors receiving them and those maybe not receiving them at usually no cost to the autovoter. I love that they can work on Hive and the hybrid usage I know many do with part autovoting/trailing, part manual voting is great to make sure your voting power doesn't stay at 100% thus losing out on returns.
I just wish the trailers and autovoters would take a look more often and maybe reconsider who they support or at least make sure the people they've been supporting are still on par with the reason they started supporting them to begin with.
This would be perfect. The tool would be used optimally.
