Excellent, I totally agree, I think part of the problem many times, are the automatic votes, I only vote content that I read first and that I liked, however, many do not vote the content, but by curation, which I consider very strange, because the margins of gain per curation are very low.
Yeah, curation rewards are very low even for me. Not that I go out there trying to get the most out of them, but to support those that do good work and are in my sphere.
I also manually vote every vote I have ever done.
