It was good to meet you last night. The steemit people are all so friendly. I'm having so much fun.
I think we should manually vote as much as possible to support good content and encourage those starting out here. I stopped self-voting since time ago as I'm not worried about what I make from curation. I also delegated some sp to others so my voting power gets used more. I just don't have time to do enough of it
I am really glad to see how much you care about the platform, I am really hoping that they create a new algorithm for either the hot page or the trending page to make manual curation easier.
Both of those changes are desperately needed.
If my replies to you in the other comment string seem cynical, realize it's because I've been posting about the "abuse" in trending (BookingTeam, not sure if that still goes on) and changing the algorithm, and how the curation formula is garbage.
There seems to be agreement that both are broken, but nobody is willing to change it.
I have to thank @ats-david for humoring each and every one of my curation posts. He truly cares about the subject too.
