"I worry about the robotic nincompoops who upvote the same worthless users day-in and day-out"

Would you say auto-voting is a net-negative for the platform? Or is the curation formula the problem?

I don't know enough to say if auto-voting can be disabled (my guess is no, not even mostly), so the only real solution would seem to be changing curation (substantially).

Dead horse, I know.
