Absolutely. It is just impossible to stay up on it daily every second....at least for the majority of us. I do try my best to manually curate most days even a few pieces. The autovote just helps aid me in taking care of people that I know for the most part, I would like to support.

The self voting thing can be a touchy debate. I see all points to it. For me, as much as I love this place and the people here, part of this is still a financial investment for me. I pumped funds in initially not only to help give me a leg up and aid in my "power " and "influence" here, but I know if I had some skin in the game that I would probably take it a bit more seriously. It motivates me a bit to not be lazy sometimes knowing that I have a bit riding on my success here. I self vote as it helps slowly cover my investment I pumped into it but my self vote is must a small overall fraction of the votes I give out to the community.

Keep on kicking ass. Oh, and when you get that Steem coffee deal done, lmk. My wife @reeseshara would like to buy some!!!
