I feel the auto upvote option should be out of the equation. For projects like @curie the auto upvote option does help the author who is getting the upvote but we can't find make steemit a game rather than just making it a community to exchange value to each other.

It's quite frustrating to see that almost all trending authors have less views than the number of upvotes they get. Like this post had 313 views at the moment but have 648 upvotes more than double the amount of views.

To be clear, I am not against you @jerrybanfield rather I am a big fan of your work and it's your Youtube video that brought me to Steemit. But for the sake of better system you can do something about it. I love your enthusiasm about steemit and your work towards it's improvement including the project Steemj.

Keep doing the good work bro. Upvoted you for the witness too:)
