Leaving the percentage at 100% is indeed a big missed opportunity. I understand wanting to take your time with curation, rather than just throwing up say 10% to every post on your feed. That defeats the purpose of curation if you aren't being selective with it.
@cmplxty has a good idea. It could be beneficial to set things up to happen automatically during a vacation. Sure there will be some downtime while you are enjoying yourself, but I never want to be the dude at the dinner table or on the beach just swiping on his phone and liking posts. We must balance our lives with our Hive activity. Neither one needs to be neglected.
