Dang! That's a lot of people to automatically vote for.

Honestly do you think that people will now vote less? I changed my settings on my steemvoter to 25 % as it makes the most sense...as much sense as I can make of this hardfork..lol! Are you optimistic about this change?

No, I think it will increase the influence of people who vote manually over those who vote with bots. Those who vote too much will see their voting power decrease which will lower their influence on the network. I am optimistic about most everything, so yes, I'm optimistic about this change as well. Going from quadratic to linear is an important move.

Yes, I agree with the above thoughts. I manually curate with this account and am looking forward to the increased control in the weight of my vote has. I use steemvoter for my namesake account which is much smaller and less active, but I still want to curate the core group I follow with it.
