Argghhh I am feeling very ashamed, and I can only apology.
I edited the post, and I take the opportunity to use this reply to thank you, together with all other manual curators (I see a least 4-5 names) for the non-stopping support to STEM on Steem.
In your case, the support is even there from the very early days! (Thanks)1000
You shouldn't: I guess I should have written my frustration about the automated nature of Steemit not under your article ... because I see it more as a general Steemit problem than a special SteemStem issue ... So maybe it was not fair to write it here (it was just that I noticed it here again while reading your article).
Thanks nevertheless for mentioning manual curation as well in your post now - in my eyes it is important that some people continue doing that. :)
Note that even if we automated many things, every single voted post has to be singly (small 5% votes) or doubly (anything larger) manually curated. Only the trail fires automatically. We have not replaced all our curators by AI :D
