I’m all for suggestions on how to control the ‘auto-vote dump’ of those with the most SP. 

It’s amazing how subtle acceptance of things can become. The recent, and ongoing glitches seem to have diminished things such as this, which would make the platform ‘better’.

Somewhere along the way I made a suggestion: 

<center>**A Steemian who loves the work of a particular author; but, is busy behind the scenes working on other projects, with little time to vote, would have an option next to the current upvote button. It would be a simple Steemit logo, which functions as a preset value/vote for any work a particular author creates.**<center/>

_**As an example: A is a huge fan of B. However, A doesn’t have time to read every post. This logo would, via automation, register the value preset by A.**_ 

_**Every time Steemian B creates a post, the auto-vote would kick in.**_ 

_**This would give the community an opportunity to see how many up-votes tallied automatically, in-comparison to the current, individual up-vote method.**_  

Again, the longer I'm a member, and the more I understand the logistics of the auto-vote, it’s been 'easier' to put the discussion on the back-burner.

**Btw, speaking of payouts, it seems that the posting of author/curator rewards is on delay of a different kind. Several payouts showing up in SteemNow haven't registered in my Wallet. Hopefully, it’s a glitch which will be corrected soon. I created a simple post which I'm hoping will get this matter addressed soon.

Peace.
