I enjoyed your rant LOL, to me the hive is about meeting and engaging with like minded people with similar interests, etc. I tend to get a lot of autovotes like $0.002, pretty pointless, but with very few comments good bad or indifferent. I guess I regularly comment and chat with maybe no more than 10 or so real like minded bloggers on here.
It would be good to see autovotes removed, that would either force people to engage, or what? bring hive crashing down?
