good article!
But we need to change something on Steem.
For example when you say:
You can vote for newbies posts, the most popular posts of the day, or whatever you feel is the best content to reward.
For a big SP holder is better to voting posts with high pending payout, because the holder can gain more without wasting the "like power value". Then, it is illogical voting for newbie post
(page 19/44 Steem whitepaper)
You could even vote for your own posts
Well, who don't do it?
This autovote help only SP holders and let them gain more in a not proportional way respect a newbie user.
Autovoting own posts isn't a bit unehtical :) ?
power up?
In this early phase IS A MUST!
Converting SD to STEEM and power up is a good way to do this too
