Nice article, but I read it twice and I don't actually see that you responded to any of the points in this article or earlier ones. For the benefit of readers, the response is here - https://steemit.com/curation/@beanz/let-s-reawaken-the-debate-on-auto-voting.

I have been a proponent of allowing authors to set their own curation percentages, so I don't substantially disagree with your proposed solution, although I do disagree emphatically with your fear of automation. (for reasons already stated and not [yet] rebutted).
