I would like to start with the statement that it was no mistake to vote for this article with the Autovoter and to have read it in peace only a few hours later. ;-)
What if it had turned out to be a very bad post when reading it later? OK, you could have withdrawn your upvote then, but lost curation reward by doing that. Also rather often auto upvoters don't read the posts later but never.
And yes, of course it's true, I also profit from auto votes.
And what is, if 2 good, longer articles appeared at the same time, then one of them would have lost in any case.
If there wouldn't be a 'curation window' (or a very big one) both articles could be upvoted with full strength.
On the flipside, you would be 'punished' for manually finding a post early and voting for it, then.
I think I have a knack for who I can bet on the autovoter and who I can't. So far I haven't had to withdraw a single vote. ;-)
That means, no contribution was so "bad" that I had to withdraw my vote. And yes, I would like to give out even more 100% votes. A little too low votes I have already increased several times. Then I have renounced the rewards, which is also nothing so much in the weight of my manageable VP. One must die a death, nevertheless, always. I cannot possibly please everyone. My method simply seems to be the best for me, which of course does not mean that my approach is also suitable for other Steemians. If you should consider an autovoter, I can recommend steemauto.
Ich denke, ich habe ein Händchen dafür, wen ich auf den Autovoter setzen kann und wen nicht. ;-)
Bislang mußte ich noch kein einziges Vote zurückziehen. Das heißt, kein Beitrag war bislang so "schlimm", daß ich mein Vote zurückziehen mußte. Und ja, ich würde gerne noch viel mehr 100% Votes vergeben. Etwas zu niedrige Votes habe ich schon öfter mal erhöht. Auf die Rewards habe ich dann verzichtet, was bei meiner überschaubaren VP aber auch nichts so sehr ins Gewicht fällt. Einen Tod muß man doch immer sterben. Ich kann es zudem einfach unmöglich allen Recht machen. Meine Methode scheint für mich einfach die beste zu sein, was natürlich noch lange nicht heißen muß, daß meine Herangehensweise auch für andere Steemians die passende ist. Falls Du doch einen Autovoter in Erwägung ziehen solltest, kann ich Dir steemauto empfehlen.
I use steemrewarding to follow my manual upvotes which I place with one of my small accounts.
