They did not really earn those $100 yet, not until the payout.

Don't get me wrong here. I think automatic votes do have their place as they work basically like subscription fees.

It's only a bit harder to adjust an autovoter for the fluctuations of the price, and that is mostly what can lead to surprisingly high rewards. Which is exactly why downvotes have their place too.

It might actually be helpful, if there was a tool to automatically lower or raise the vote of an autovoter in the event of price fluctuations. I wonder if anyone has made one. Last time I checked, hive.vote didn't have any.

Other than that, the one using an autovoter should set the vote percentage considerably less than what they would organically vote. They can always correct the vote upwards later if they so wish.

And how does one get automatic upvotes?

That is a good question. I currently do not know. But I also would like to know. Maybe someone else will answer the question. @gamer00 perhaps.

Hive.vote search on google

@svanbo, @xplosive

Automatic upvotes happen if someone goes to a site like hive.vote and clicks the Fanbase menu item, and sets his own account to follow someone as a fan, setting the automatic upvote percentage.

That's how it basically works.

I know that. I also do automatic upvotes (above 90% voting power). But I thought that the question was how can we get (receive) automatic upvotes?

The answer should be simple enough: Publish quality content. (That is content other people will want to support.)

Hihi trying to do that...

You are right, I think some get it because of relationships. So there are more factors to be considered.
