With a stake of 500k HP 🥰
I would be choosing manual curation. First of all, I would skip the popular authors as they are getting enough already. So yeap I will be using that stake with a view to highlighting a few underrated authors who are out of sight. Won't be curating the same person daily, but I would try to reach search for those contents that actually deserve it. No intention of self-voting as reputation is much more important to me than the rewards. (aka farming)

That's all I can think of right now. Basically, my primary goal would be to curate some quality content that is not getting enough highlights.
