Fair enough, as you say there are alternatives for people who prefer that sort of behavior. That's one of the great things about the open nature of the Steem API: anyone can develop apps that interact with the blockchain in different ways, giving end users a large amount of choice in what services to take advantage of.
It looks like AutoSteem has a pretty rich feature set, so maybe I'll still check it out to see if I like the non-voting aspects of it. Thanks for your hard work on what looks like a really nice tool for the community!
