So, in the long run if you are without an algorithm and/or a lot of money to sink into Steem Power it isn't as useful for you the Minnow?
Isn't it more effective to spread the rewards a little, so the curation is less than a game and could work without automation?
While I understand the logic behind this, that is if you are not with capital to invest & programming chops to build good AI you better produce quality post and thoughtful discussion in comments (hello, Slashdot +5 insightful and the like!) some people aren't as good as others at writing. The only suggestion to them is to get better, is that right? :-) Seems like a good thing too, I guess.
@xanoxt Check out my STEEMBOTS post. You're welcome to join us. But curation is definitely a botting activity.
