An Outsider Look at HiveVote
HiveVote is a site by @mahdiyari that helps users create automated operations such as voter trails.
HIVE was designed with investors in mind. The platform invites the public to invest in a crypto currency. The system uses part of the inflation from the currency to reward posts.
Curation trails can help investors by automating the upvote process. That way they do not miss out on curation rewards.
I don't use this product as I believe that manual curation provides better information than automated curation.
Automated votes are mindless. Unfortunately, since automated votes are programmed to maximize rewards, automated votes are able to snag the higher curation rewards for popular bloggers.
Curation trails are slightly different. An investor can piggyback on the work of an active curator. This would magnify the rewards of the active curator.
Hive Vote has an active discord server. The site has uploaded the source code for their project to Github.
I like to upvote manually. This is a great project for people who want to invest in HIVE POWER and support the project without having to spend the thousands of hours needed to read and curate posts.
