You can't get rid of Auto-voters or payouts will drop drastically. I do not have time to create quality posts and the also go around a read 50 different post to vote on. My entire life would be Steemit which it really already is just creating images and retouching them and then posting several times a day.

I know many others are in the same position and feel the same. And honestly without people autovoting me I doubt I'd even be able to keep posting because the income would be so unreliable. In fact I think Steemit should have an Auto-voter built in.

I Auto-vote people that I believe put out quality content consistently and I feel everyone else should also do it that way.

Let's be honest a lot of whales just vote for each other Steemit is very cliquey, so I'm for anyway a person that is creating quality content can get votes, even if they are buying them. The qualifier is the must be putting out quality work they created beyond that I could care less how they get votes.

What I don't like to see is people producing crap borrowed or stolen content basically Facebook Style Posts and asking me to trade votes with them. If a person is producing quality content I'll be happy to support them if I like what they are producing. I prefer they also support me but really the content is what matters most.

If my followers are upvoting me with a good % upvote and commenting I very often upvote their comments. But I don't like people posting non-sense generic comments and asking me to follow and upvote crap content.

I put a lot of work into my photography which is basically my posts, I even have been doing tutorial videos. So I expect others to actually put some effort in also.
