This is just another proof about how the majority of people that should help the most on finding orignal content and curate posts are actually inclined only to maximize their curation rewards no matter what and without taking the time to actually read and evaluate the content. (I am talking about whales and even witnesses-whales)
Some people seems to not understand that the best thing for the growth of this platform is not about bring in new users from reddit/twitter/whatever and then show them how basically all the rewards end up in whales and other 5ish persons'pocket, but instead to bring some new users and show them how their original content are appreciated and rewarded by the community.

Sadly this seems to be a selfish game for some, fortunatelly not too difficult to fix.

The first step could probably be to stop using the auto-vote-bot and instead, if you really want to have an advantage to find new good and original posts, use a notification-bot, then go to actually read the notificated post, without forgetting about all the other original-content-creators that are not in your magic list of notifications.
