RE: A case for autovoters

Voting on rewards is comparable to donating,

I didn't say this. The process of needing to make the decision each time is similar.

do you understand how paragraphs work? one topic?

Each time you make a decision to choose to donate to one charity of another or any charity at all, you are picking a candidate for your action. I used the word vote in context to the bigger picture to tie things together and as far as Steem goes, why would I use the term deduction?

Tell me, is automating a function of Curation not by default invalidate the premise of the function? Tell me, is it healthy to the rest of the users to use your VP simply because it's given and it reloads? Is it OK to share your parking space on a automated schedule, or your mobile bandwidth, or your AC condensate?

As for this, normally you make some sense but this doesn't, at least to me. Which function of curation are you talking about and which premise?

Nope, you have missed the point and completely ignored the section about patrons. My parents owned a gallery when I was a kid in a small town, they sponsored a few local artists so they had some space to create without having to worry about working for food and a roof. They didn't check every piece of art, they didn't peek over their shoulder to make sure they were doing 'right', they gave them space.

It is a position based on trust that gets reviewed from time to time. This is what patrons do. In so doing, the work of the artists were able to develop and get a much, much wider consuming audience than would likely have been possible without the support.

You want good content, support good content creators by giving them the space to do what they do. I find some people, I vote on some people. In my year and a half here I have cast over 38,000 votes, manually.

You're comparing self sacrificing of a patronage to Voting on Steem where you don't sacrifice anything.

What are you talking about no self-sacrifice? I am yet to use a steem of what I have earned here regardless of my real world position and have distributed a hell of a lot more than many other other people who have earned more in much easier ways then myself. It is fine for those without SP to be on a high horse but when it comes to distribution, it is the people with SP who are doing it.

automation has no place in social interactions

voting isn't a social act, it is a transaction.

You have no qualms about brushing aside the fact that by not voting you give others a chance to share more of the rewards, it's petty and selfish.

Ah, you mean leave the pool completely to the bidbots? Interesting method for helping content producers there.
