I used steemauto mostly for Curation trail and fanbase when I came on Steemit new. I would say I was young and inexperienced as it was my early days. Auto-upvote and Curation trail then wasn't healthy for my accounts as I hard a very low sp and I would quickly run to bandwidth issues.
So, it's important that the person have some reasonable amount of Steempower to enjoy both services. They are pretty cool.
It does help if you have more SP. I'm glad I found a way to continue supporting all the great people like you that support men.
