So you autovote specific people, instead of following a curation trail? That seems like what I'll probably end up doing, too.

Interesting viewpoint about curation. I've been thinking of curation as a thing you "should" do on Steem to be a good Steemian, but maybe that's not really 100% the case. Networking and engaging with people certainly seems to me like being a "good Steemian" as well.
