I think auto-voting has a purpose when used wisely. When my account is a bit bigger, I'd love to support certain promising Redfish with a fixed auto-vote percentage to help them reach minnowhood.
For things like going on vacation or being away from Hive, I can also see reason to take advantage of auto-voting to use my mana while I'm away.
I like the new higher voting power I have with all this freed up mana, and I can give those few extra cents now when voting on awesome posts.
