I understand completely. I feel like it works better for someone in your position who has more SP and a bunch of relationships with other users that you wish to support. You are also doing your part to double back and engage with those users you have upvoted. I'd be curious to see how often that happens with others who use the service.

For new users like myself I think it's important to self curate so that we are building those meaningful connections over time. Maybe in time the value will shift where it makes sense for me to utilize some of the autovote features.
