RE: We should stop autoupvoting in POB !
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't know about automatic votes, cururation trails right, that's not my problem, my problem is this automatic downvotes man.
One group downvotes, others join, and they don't even know what kind of content it is, is it bad to attrack downvotes?
I like the automatic votes, but choose only because, I believe that person heading that curation trail will vote only good articles, its a careful and responsible decision.
To be frank, I don't have the time to read many articles, I try read 3 to 4 a day and it pisses my off when I don't find quality articles and I like to upvote only quality articles, after reading and getting the gist of it. So, if a responsible curation trail is there , I opt for auto votes, sometimes that autovote has my vote on my own blog...anyway.
But manual curation is also important. I know when good articles are not upvoted it sucks and is kind of unfair, efforts should be on to upvote good articles definitely.
We can apply what I said to downvotes as well. It's better to have the full access to your account and what's it's doing, no matter if you trust those who use your account to upvote after them or not. They may always upvote what you will not like, will you remove that upvote after ? No, because most knows that they will have curation rewards from that and I don't think they will remove what wasn't upvoted by them. That's a big problem and in the end the content that's not liked by people turn trending and noone will do anything about that.
