"I dont know how to feel about whales who have each other on autovoter. no matter their post value they got whale upvotes."
@marty-arts, I didn't know autovoters was a thing. Ugh! Disgusting. Definitely not good for the long-term stability & growth of the platform.
@abijahchristos autovoter is not a bad thing.. when you know some author makes great posts every time and you want to support him it is good to use it. there are a few users who have me on autobvoter and I am really grateful for it. it is partly my motivation to stay at good level.
the thing is, autovoter is not good to use when your vote has value around 50 SBD and you give 100% of it for every post to one author. it brings him to hot or trending everytime he posts somethingand I stil ask myself "Is it fair?"
@marty-arts, I see how autovoters can be helpful.
Supporting the content creator just because you like them in general, regardless of if you like everything they posts. Kinda of like using autovoters to turn Steemit into Patreon.
I still think we'd be better without autovoters though.
Actually having to look through the content before voting seems like the best way to support the platform as a whole (not just the individuals we like).
