I follow curation trails. I do manual curation when I have time but want to support the platform and earn curation rewards when I am away from the computer (which is often). I make way more POB manually curating as compared to following the trails, but am interested in earning curation rewards on my POB power.

I understand your argument and appreciate it, but these trails do way better curation than I would if I was "forced" to manually curate. I don't have time. There would be 10 lottery 100% upvotes a day.
