I believe that this is thorough and helpful to all to understand the direction things are going, but I also see it as an advertisement to lead people to set your posts on peoples' autovoting setup to highly boost your rewards. I wish people were inspired to do it manually since you're supposed to actually READ the content you're voting on right?

Isn't that something that's highly stressed as well? Autovoting destroys the spirit of curation and part of Steemmit's mission. Now it's just about finding profit.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do I suppose. Thanks for the valuable info either way.
