Thank you for being honest with us and your desire to grow this community. About engagements, a lot of us seem to be defaulters including myself. Of recent, I haven't been active generally on Hive but I hope to improve my engagement here in sportstalk community which I will do.
On the issue of match reports, you shouldn't entirely frown at it as they are still sports content. Rather you should be talking about quality of the reviews/ reports. Like you said, personal views and inputs should be added on such posts.
Then on auto-voting, we know that is entirely business and it is a great way for curator's to earn a good ROI being that sportstalk curation rewards depends on "when you upvote a post", that's timing. If you really want to discourage auto-voting, then you should change the curation rewards pattern to linear just like leofinance does.
