So after postponing this for quite a while now I decided to take a look at the @eds-vote project's voting pattern. Disappointedly it seems to be quite automated based on certain delegation tiers and token holdings and the project only voting for accounts that hold its token/miners or delegate to it.
Either way, I think you guys probably know my stance about this by now and I don't really have much time or willpower to deal with these things currently but figured I'd make a post shining some light on it and let you share your thoughts about it.
I think it's important that we all vote on an even playing field and not based mainly on self-interest as getting upvotes because you delegate to a project or because you buy their token should be quite obvious that it seems to ignore all the other things we think are important to take into account in terms of curation.
I don't really have more info on how the voting is decided, who gets placed on an autovoter or how often and if there's cases where they're removed from autovotes due to abuse/other, but either way this activity is not something I'd encourage and feel it takes value away from projects doing similar things but not focusing their votes on those who delegate to them.
