No, I did read this, but you bought shares for yourself too.

I never brought up autovotes, because I would never tell anyone to use them. Without manual curation there's no engagement, and this place stays a desert.

Be honest, what's better for retention? Tossing a few cents to others automatically, or actually engaging on their content and giving a personal vote?

There's a good way to get over the dust threshold - power up the Hive you earn instead of sending them to a vote seller. Or maybe even buying some Hive from the open market (I know, shocking!)
