RE: The Case Against Unmonitored, Automated Voting
I also want to believe my "voting record" is an indication of my personality and my values
If you want it to be this, then stop using automated voting. It is your choice.
The other thing is, maybe you are following the wrong trails. I can think of a few voters where I would probably agree with a high percentage of their voting decisions. Others I certainly would not. Choosing trails or other automated voting does not mean taking your own opinion or judgment out of the matter entirely, it means apply it at a different level.
Thanks @smooth. Well said, as always.
Yes, definitely. That's why I said this:
If I care about my voting record (and, I think this experiment showed me I do), then I need to apply myself differently. One solution I was thinking about today was to keep steemtstats running and notice when "I" vote on something and then take a moment to go check it out and decide if that vote should stay.
I know you've done very well building a team of very good curators, so I appreciate what you say concerning finding the right trail. When I'm trailing great content, it's actually really fun! I'll probably turn it on again at some point, but it won't be for days on end without checking what's being voted on. 24 hours is a long time to correct something before it goes on the permanent record. :)
