I've been testing some curation trails recently, but I realized that it dropped my voting power so I didn't feel comfortable automating these votes in some profiles and stop doing manual curation, which, as you said, is the real focus of POB. I believe that for some profiles, like yours, and @vempromundo, @fireguardian,
it is worth following the curation trail. I hope to grow a little more to do this without affecting my daily mana so much.
