Some people don't like auto-voting and I understand that. I don't much either, so manual voting is my choice -- and it can certainly be for others. too. I have one curation auto-trail that I follow so my vote gets used if my VP gets too high -- while I'm asleep, or if the power is out, or some other crisis has interrupted my time and attention. Otherwise, I stay pretty current. Auto-voting is easier for a lot of people -- but I'm a control freak. (Sorry, I just can't seem to change that.)

You're definitely not on the XXX list. Your voting record is fine and I'm glad to see you back again.

For some reason most of your videos work for me. (Most other people's don't.) So, it's nice to see you doing your thing -- because I can sit back and enjoy it. Your schedule sounds like it's every bit as crowded as mine. I don't know how you're managing to wedge Steemit back in there.
