You fail to mention the projects double-dipping just for autovoting, it's not all about the authors, for them it's quite easy to not be targeted, just undelegate from these braindead selfvoting schemes and you're fine. Now if you instead start vote-trading excessively that's another thing that's also against my books.

Curation isn't guaranteed, I know I'm not the best example to mention this cause I get a lot of autovotes but you don't see me voting them back or abusing the votes by posting daily like you are. Save it with the victim angle and how people are afraid of being asked to use the platform the way it's healthy and beneficial for more people.

I don't know what you mean about supporting new users, you have no voting power.
