About voting and curation revards.
First, thank you to @markkujantunen for starting this discussion.
Yes, I see that questions can be asked about the use of autovoting.
Problem one -
Who deserves a vote and how big it should be?
Good content should be one of the main factors. @ stef1 recently wrote a great post on that topic.
So. How to Choose Good Autors, It Can Be Difficult. Now with free downvoting some of the bad content posts will more or less disappear from Steemit?
By the way, I would be happy for information about who I should not vote for.
Problem two -
Over time, you have studied how Steemians is voting, especially from the level of dolphin and up in the system. It seems that the cration rewad is distributed very horizontally at the top of the Steemit community. Only a very small part goes down to those who are new to Steemit. Unfair or not, that's a question?
Anyway, if you want success on Steemit, good content or not, you need steempower. With only autor rewards, it takes time, maybe many years, to get a significant level. or steempower. Only way is to buy steem and power up.
So, voting manually take time, My be I should stop voting?
