RE: Do You Manually Curate, or Auto-Vote?
100% manual. Some authors I virtually always upvote when they post because their posts are just that good. But I don't automate anything - I want to be in full control of everything I do and do not upvote. It would be nice if it were easier to find the great content though.
Find good communities and writers and you will find great content! Thankfully you're following krnel here so one block down.
Yup, keep the control and reward it because you think about it a bit, not just giving the votes away with no conscious.
What is great content? How do you find it?
Yeah that't the thing - what qualifies as "great" is going to be different for everybody. Personally I found some by looking at the New, Trending, and Hot lists, but those are very hit and miss. Scouring posts with particular tags of interest helped too. Then from the ones I did like and follow, their resteems helped a lot more, as well browsing the lists of who some of them follow, plus seeing the occasional good commenter who stands out. It's a slow process though and tends to keep your feed very niche, with little chance of being exposed to something truly new unless you purposefully go looking for it.
