You have got your points spot on! I think auto-curation bots of a few people are performing surprisingly well. Manual curation is tasking but then it offers greater flexibility and better quality of authors whos content gets noticed.
Sure you can emulate the authors that make a consistently large payout, but without their followers, your results may differ
This is true!
Thanks. I mix it up with the curation. Manual definitely offers flexibility. I get annoyed when my bots upvote too much and spend all my curation capital. lol
haha! I can understand that. I like spending my time doing that and generally dont mind the effort that goes with it.
