RE: Upvotes, Curating, Balance, Radar...
It's really frustrating for everyone involved. Auto-voting can come in many aspects, even for legitimate voting from steemauto.
Personally, I read everything I vote on and wont' vote unless I have, and then try to leave a comment behind as well, even if it's a simple one. I'd like to think that people who down-vote would do the same thing to explain it.
Then again, I also want to ride a pegasus, so there's that. But yeah, autodownvoting seems to be an abuse.
I look at automatization in a different way... If I want to share my positive energy (in our case upvote) to a certain person I can do it automatically... I would rather do it like that than forget to do it at all...
But, if I have to criticize someone (in out case downvote), I will think about it a lot more before I did it... As you said, it can frustrate someone and I have to think about the consequences of that... Behind every post, every video, image is a person... and that person has its emotions, reasons for doing the post, or try to promote it... And that's the reason that it CAN'T be automatic...
Thank you for your comment!
