RE: The EIP and how curation will matter again - a.k.a false hopes
I simply don't have time to curate as much as I had in the past and frankly I'm still kind of sore about the yahoo-ery from before.
But I will be absolutely forthcoming about it. Honesty is perhaps my strength at times but can also be my fatal flaw.
My HF20/19 ROI compared to the bid botters had been low since back in the earlier days.
What do I have to show for it? It's not really in my wallet. Many of the heroes of today were the assholes of yesterday.
Throwing down a few downvotes does not negate all the former collusion. My worldview beckons me to forgive people but that is not easy as the circumstances are different than anything I experienced.
All the stake that was earned via dishonesty is now power influencing the ecosystem. It's not easy to forget as the effects still reverberate through the chain. On the flip side, a lot of the bot vote miners are selling us some discount Steem. Silver lining?
Where's the MIB memory eraser pen when you need one? 🤔
To clarify, I am playing around with an autovoter when I am going to be extended AFK.
As much as I care about honest curation, I also don't want to be left behind again. My saving grace before was Utopian and I busted my ass for those rewards.
Now, since that's gone, I have to think adapt and being an idealist didn't seem to work for me in the past.
There is a pull between what the system rewards and what I believe to be the ideal. Until the system matches the ideal, it is compelling to at least adabt a hybrid approach to voting (mixed auto and manual).
Personally, I think the ideal is if you don't have anything meaningful to vote. Don't vote. But let's be realistic. Who really is going to do that?
Is this wrong? I'm still thinking that through.

I dropped it in the post a few times, but let me push you a bit harder towards checking out @curangel for those extended AFK times ;)
The returns are way better than nothing, and not much worse than a non-optimized autovoting setup. And you can be sure that your stake is used for the good of all the platform.
