I see what you mean with the auto-votes, I’ve seen your opinion on this on other systems as well, and I try to understand your perspective on it.
Do you mean that upvoting should not happen, simply because one owns the token? Or is it ok if they would curate & upvote out of the pool of token holders? Or no upvotes at all for holders of tokens, only upvotes on quality content (holding the token or not).
I want to get to know more about this, since we’re working on our own system as well (@mmbbot see also the tips below ;-) ), and we want to set it up in a way that it aligns with the values of Hive and everyone on it as much as possible, realizing 100% is impossible.
In any case, thanks for reading, and for your valued feedback!

Ps: consider voting for my Hive Witness @botlord please! -> https://ecency.com/witnesses 🙏😉

only upvotes on quality content (holding the token or not).

This, but doesn't have to always be about content, can be about the account as well, their general activity, what value they bring to hive, etc, since it's about hive token curation.

Instead anyone who delegates automatically gets votes, so they're basically just self-voting themselves 10x per day and not voting anyone outside that circle, with probably a few exceptions from what I've seen like some projects like bro or cryptocompany who also vote for eddie/eds.

I think I got it…
Indeed, I agree, just giving out votes because you hold the token 1 on 1, that’s not ok, that is pay-for-upvotes basically, or buying upvotes.
Also agree that a valuable account/post can be totally outside of the wordcount or something else of the post. Which sometimes makes it hard to assess, a badly written text of 200 words and a bad photo can have tremendous value due to the topic, while a well written post of 10000 words and with 10 top notch photos brings nothing to the table.
Well, I guess that’s why there are different communities and curation accounts, right? ;-)
Thanks for sharing the feedback! I love this kind of conversations ;-) (they add value ;-) )

Sure, but we shouldn't accept such pay-for-votes as it shines a bad light on curation here, just the other week someone was in my posts saying that he believes that's the only way to earn rewards here. This selfishness, both from project owner and delegator/token buyer makes it so they grow faster than those giving out votes for value. They're basically leeching inflation away from those using hive curation how it's meant to be at the cost of offering inflation to new users or those who don't offer them delegations.

True… And it was one of the things that I always found very unfair in the old Steem days, the bought upvotes, so I see the need to stay clear from it here as well. Although I do admit that sometimes, I need to almost draw it out how you see things as being “bought upvotes”! :-D But, I agree, if all curation services would work like that, it would mean that quality work is not necessarily curated (if not part of…), and that new Hive joiners will have an even much more difficult time seeing any results, and be discouraged. Although that should not be their first concern, but that’s another story ;-)
