I agree with you on this one, Joe the plumber will have difficulties and will be a powerless individum on the system compared to a godlike creature of a user who knows linux and has pc power. Maybe a part of the contribution rewards can go into the token pool, let's say 3%.
It is also sad that you have 108 votes as I write this comment and only 35 views. Most hunt the best posts without reading them. That would be a nice feature for a hf20, to get only 5% of contribution rewards when the post is not read.
I like bot voting. I may not have time to read every kaylinart post, but she's a great author and a wonderful addition to the platform. I'm happy to have a bot on guard to upvote her content. Other's have issues with that.
Otherwise it looks like tokens may only go to devs at the moment. That seems very alarming to me.
Bots/automated voting have there place, especially with the curation trains. If there is a reliably good content author then people should have the ability to get their support in fast and automatically. That helps keep the solid content providers above the selfie food pic posts. :-)
I was not speaking about the bots. They are such a good help for the minnows. I send also the bots to others just to vote them higher as my SP. Love the juice ;)
I was speaking about the normal user who does not take the time to read good posts and targets curation trails
