Contrary to popular opinion, I do vote manually, but only if I have the time. Time is a rare commodity, and when you are getting older, you do realise that you don't have much of it left. We all have to die at some point.
Many of you know I run a Python driven voting bot, and currently there are 681 other accounts white-listed. I run it twice a day, as I am not going to keep my computer running 24/7; electricity is far too expensive, and if you know what MTBF is, then that's also a factor for hardware.
Whenever I run the bot, it creates a log file so I can see what's going on. I rarely view these files, but a few days ago I did just that.
593 of the 681 accounts do not have a valid post to vote on. This means that over the last 24 hours, those accounts have not created a post. If they had, then there are strenuous conditions I create for the valid ones to get even a small vote.
Typically it's the usual suspects who get the lion's share, people I trust to create something decent. The bot can't figure out that your 700-word masterpiece is the word 'ASS' 700 times, but HIVE being what it is, someone will notice very quickly and that account will be handed to 
It's been a while since I created a post such as this, but I am looking for new candidates to add to my whitelist. I don't proclaim I am anything special, but at almost 370,000HP, I have a decent whack of HIVE and don't want to use it on all the same users daily.
I just ran the bot, and this is a view I get only too often. All the accounts have been checked, but I still have voting power left. This is one of the reasons for this post.
I am mostly interested in Gaming, Personal Stories and Urban Exploring. If you write any of this content and it's not AI-created or bullshit, then I might even follow you.
'Does this person just want to take, or will they give something back?' That's a huge criteria point in my mind.
Now I am feeling like a pretentious whale, and I don't want to come over that way. I am a humble person, and simply want to give my vote to the truly worthy.
If you would like to get votes from me, please drop me a comment. I don't use AI for screening new applicants. I look at many things, including KE, quality of work, quality of comments, delegations, power-downs, but most importantly, my spidey-senses take priority.
If I decide to add you, then I will let you know in the form of a comment. I would love my whitelist to breach over 1000 accounts. Here’s hoping…
...'THE SLOBBERCHOPS WHITELIST'...
Would you like to be whitelisted and eligible for votes by me (and a bunch of other accounts?). Drop me a comment on this post, and I may add you (subject to account checks).
Twice or three times a day I manually run the BOT until the voting thresholds on all the accounts have been breached. You may get a vote, or you may be passed by.
A vote depends on passing the checks I have put in place, and if your name is randomly picked. There's nothing to lose, you get votes, could be small or large and I get curation rewards.
