I don't use autovoter services. I read shit and vote if I like it. Or I look at art and vote. Most artists ignore me here when I comment. That's kind of annoying.
I don't really care about that window. I just vote whenever. Most of my highest curation rewards come from late votes.
Yeah, I used to do that same as you. But since I had way less support and do$h as you, after EIP I had no choice but use autovoter services and change a bit my gamification here unless I'd have preferred and enjoyed famine better. };)
