I have been a manual voter since joining steem block chain. I know how long it takes me to find things of interest to me to vote on. I really don't care what other people find of interest to vote on, sometimes a lot of people like the same things I do, sometimes not. Sometimes it is vote trails that do the voting, and is based on past performance of the individual, (blind voting), I do that for some of the content. There are people's post I enjoy, but am not able to actually read or look at everything, I have a tendency to get wrapped up in a topic day like yesterday and today, where I did some commenting, and a lot of reading and listening.
I will be a pretty happy camper soon when the value of my vote can exceed a dust vote level at 33% vote power, then I can start back on comment voting. Content wise, I have a lot to vote on, if my feed is a bit thin then I use my wife's, if hers is thin on content, then I follow the feed of some of the people I follow. I have a long way to go before people start thinking I am over voting/rewarding any particular individual.
The communities have made it a bit easier also to find content to vote on. I have been trying to use some of the various communities when I can remember, I do think they will be way to vote in the future, not so much on my feed but on the post in the community rooms. Now all I need to do is transition fully over to steempeak for my steem block chain access point.
