When I started at Hive I always wondered how it was possible to vote for content in a matter of seconds? Then Jean explained to me what the automatic votes were and at that time I saw it as normal, maybe I didn't give it much importance, but as time went by I realized that it is good and bad at the same time.
Good for the curator and the user who receives them, but Hive makes no sense when it comes to publishing "quality" content because if we all get these automatic votes we would be happy, but very unfair and absurd at the same time. I'd rather be curated a thousand times manually, and have my post rated as quality, than post 500 words of crap, with bad writing and be rewarded the same.
We should always seek to improve our mistakes when writing quality content, and with automatic votes, we will never achieve it.
