I just had an idea while reading one of the comments in 
Perhaps Steemit needs to look to integrate an autovoting system directly into the site and educate new users on it.
I'm thinking an even better idea is to make it into blockchain logic. Instead of "autovote" it could be called "patronize". Like to frequent as a customer, e.g.: restaurants remaining open in the evening were well patronized.
If you set a patronage rule for an author, it's just like autovoting for them whenever they post, or under certain criteria and power slider. Patronage would use voting power the moment posts are written and returns curation claims just like voting. The difference is that no operations are created. No blockchain bloat. If you have 50 autovotes, that's 50 vote operations. But if you have 50 patrons, the blockchain logic can deduce what the votes would have been.
An added benefit is, if people patronize up front, if someone is opposed to the patronization schedule, they can negate (reverse patronize?) them before any posts are written.
