We do manually curate at 3-4 minutes in some cases. But we're not using automation for broadcasting votes. This is all being done manually, as well as the comments. Comments will most likely be automated over time, however, the votes have always been reviewed and done manually.
We've stated multiple times what our plans for SmartPoints are and whether you believe in them or not, is your decision. And there are also reasons why we haven't listed them on SteemEngine, especially as it wouldn't change anything considering that the uses-cases are just following. We appreciate the questions.
