About my curation - who am I supporting and why?

Haven't made a post for half a year, lol...

Anyways, since the emergence of Hive account@steem-ua, as well as the news about HF20, and realizing the awesome potential (and essentially awesome ROI) of Hive account@smartsteem, I decided to return.

Given the nature of how I use this platform, I make several autovotes - I know some of you don't like it, but still a better way of utilizing my active Steem Power than, well, doing nothing.

I love feeling empowered on a place like this. It's a mesmerising feel, and combined with the fact that I can influence the "income" of people, as well as helping to decide, what is good content...well, I'm beyond words.

Long story short, I decided to make a post to explain it (mostly done), and list some of my favourite content creators, with an explanation on why I vote on them.

If you feel like I make good decisions, I may start a series of posts about additional good content creators I find during the days I spend on Steem.

My Steemvoter account allows automating voteing on only 10 people, given my current SP, and I allocate the majority of it on artists - namely Hive account@makowrites (the first one posting on #worldbuilding for a very long time, kudos!), Hive account@la-fumettista, Hive account@bryan-imhoff, Hive account@drwatson (both make excellent quality comics and drawings constantly) and Hive account@winry (for who I mean it mostly as an inspiration to engage more).

Manually supported, on a different theme: Hive account@joeohs - him doing Rimworld means a lot for me. And on the gaming side, on occasion, I spare some votes for Hive account@triverse, considering the significant effort on his posts and because I love retro gaming, as well as
Hive account@gamersclassified who, again, engages with the ecosystem a lot.

Nowadays, I try finding and rewarding game developers, too, because I know how awesome it would feel to earn with it. Hive account@brightredskies, Hive account@ajayyy and of course, don't forget Hive account@steemgg!

And finally, some great projects and people that speak for themselves: the aforementioned steem-ua and smartsteem, Hive account@paulag's godlike analysises, Hive account@holger80 with his curation league, Hive account@trufflepig's machine learning-driven curaton program, Hive account@steempeak as an awesome frontend alternative, more stats from Hive account@boddhistats, the Hive account@steemsnake dApp, the gamedev AND analyst Hive account@miniature-tiger, and Hive account@onepiece as a beginner but enthusiastic programmer with his tutorials.

To be fair, I don't think this post will go far, and manual curation is extremely time-consuming anyways, but if you think I made choices well (I tried focusing on accs with
relatively small SP), then I'd gladly continue my journey in curation and post my findings.

Thanks for reading.
