A #newsteem with a #newocdb, glad to see that everyone is improving or at least trying to improve their own services with the launch of #newsteem, with the change of mentalities, I've seen some of those voting rings around and I really see them as a bad thing to the whole STEEM blockchain, the trending page of the meme tag is almost always filled with one or two of those voting rings...
I use steemauto to upvote content creators that I like to read and support, but even if the upvotes are auto, I normally go back and read them all myself and comment on each one of them... and even with steemauto on, I have some VP left for manual curation, I normally do that manual curation when I backtrack to read what the steemauto auto upvoted.
