I agree that the current curation window (and the exponential nature of it for people that get in early) is the issue which makes auto votes more favorable over manually voting. We need to change this IMO. But I disagree that 'auto votes' should inherently be worth less. Conceptually if an investor wants to come in and invest in Hive, power up and follow a curation auto-vote trail, are we just going to label them "lazy auto voters" and penalize them ? Are we saying that they are not the type of investor we want to bring to the platform? We have a post inflation pool and a developer fund which produce selling pressure on the token. To me large scale passive investment is what we want to encourage to balance this. If their passive income can support active content creators on the platform is that not a win/win solution? We seem to be turning into a war against "passive" stake. Yet most of the investment world runs on passive stake. I respect you as a large scale 'active' investor on the platform so I am keen to hear your opinion on this.
