ᔕᑕᗷ Autovotes vs Manual Upvote
37 comments
Hello my dear Steemians,
I am back again to ᔕᑕᗷ ᗰOᑎKEY ᗷᑌᔕIᑎEᔕᔕ community and this time there is another topic that I wanted to chat about and it was not just a spontaneous idea but the idea rose from the last post of @wakeupkitty while reading it I thought I will share my experience about and who knows maybe it will be useful for some of you too.
The whole activities on Steemit platform can be divided into two:
- Upvoting posts of users if we like them
- commenting posts of users
... actually I have to correct myself there is also third action
- Downvoting, that is not very popular on Steemit now but it was popular during old Steemit and also still widely used on Hive platform if the user is considered to receive too High Upvote and if anyone think so then can downvote and reduce the payout reward. It is explained that so long the post has not reached its payout after 7th day the reward does not belong to user and can be returned to Upvote Pool.
In order to be good and engaged Steemian we want to reach many users, support them and also to leave comments. Everyone who decided to be that example earlier or later will notice that it is not enough hours a day that we can dedicate for Steemit activities especially if we do our work properly. Despite of that we notice that there are still posts from users who we like that are not seen and we missed to support them.
By the way, when I am writing that, I recalled the movie "Bruce almighty" with Jim Carrey when he took over the tasks for God who decided to have holiday and initially after he was answering to all the prayers, at the end he was so exhausted and decided to reply everyone with "Yes" and then chaos broke out.
With the time we need to decide if we will live Steemit, that means wake up and start our online Steemit activities, eat between and go to sleep just in order to wake up in the morning and continue.
On other hand, you can keep an eye on your close friends, give them Upvote showing that you saw them time to time write a short comment, but you will still be able to live your normal live.
If we want to support others and especially good users, we then need to be alert all the time and do manual upvote. You probably will be able to continue that for few weeks but there will always be days when you miss upvoting and the Upvote Power will be full but you would not be there. That will waste your Upvote Power and your friends will receive no support.
What then to do? You probably heard about Autovoting there are some programs that you can set up as:
voting certain users certain times per 24 hours. It is commonly once in 24 hours, so that you still be able to spread your Upvote Power for other users
voting after certain time or rule of GOLDEN 5 MINUTES: if you vote before 5 minutes you receive little reward for curation. Curation at 3 minutes is optimal then you receive the highest reward for your curation
When you set up Autovote for few users, you will still have Upvote Power in order to do manual upvote and that will give you time to breath through and not to rush to the Steemit thinking if your Upvote Power is full and if your Upvote CSI is low. Both of them will give a bad impression for the rest of Steemians and curators.
In busy time of Steemit activities it is important that you make sure that you spread your time effectively, you should use all the necessary benefits that Steemit offering:
- Autovotes will take off pressure from you and help to support the posts of users you like
- Be rewarded for timely curation for curation within 5 minute you also will get rewarded when you will use Autovotes
- Concentrate on Comments you always can come back and write comments when you are free, the posts of your friends who you upvoted automatically you can find in Steemworld
- Continue Manual Upvote you still continue manual upvote
I hope you also learnt something interesting today and if you want to read more about what you can find more about Autovotes, Delegation and more here is the post that you might find interesting LInk
