Then support manual curation efforts that are out there looking for the good stuff and trying to help distribution... people can do as they wish with their stake, many other even larger accounts just vote people who vote them, so.. “auto curation” is better than just self votes and circle jerks.. or none at all. 

Many use auto as they don’t have the time to manually curate, I myself only do manual but I can understand why that’s not doable for many. 

I’m appreciative of kpines votes that started when I announced that I would be attending SteemFest to speak about curation and would be paying for it it in Steem. While with the market we are in now I had to actually pay most out of pocket but. He and others made that trip possible, and I’m very grateful. 

So, I’m not sure here.. are you saying it’s not fair for people to have individuals on auto and make curation rewards from it? Or are you just not loving what he chooses to vote? 

You might want to take a look at pretty much every other account on the platform as this practice is done by most individuals here. 

Check out @c-squared if you want to help get more authors seen. It’s a manual curation effort I started with some other passionate curators to open up curation to the community to be able to reach more. Anyone can be a curator, and it’s open to the public. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks ❤️

Kpine have invested money of his own to get in this position where he can earn rewards by curating content on the platform. I am lucky to be part of that list that he keep adding People and helping. 
He have helped a lot of creators to be able to go to the next level this way with this support and for sure he is more than deserved to be earning the curating rewards on the people he have decided to support.
Now... this didn't happen from day to night and in my personal case I work very hard every single day to make sure that my content is entertaining and bring some to the community and to my following. It is fair that You don't appreciate my content, You don't have to but I have a group of People that does and that's the People I am concerned to please and make happy.
What bothered me more with Your opinion is the fact that You are taking off value to photography and that is one of the most unfair things to do. Taking pictures and making sure the audience enjoy them it is not an easy task. Specially if that is Your main type of content. Coming out with new and fresh content is a lot of hard work. And Kpine doesn't simply add People to this list thinking about his own pockets. If You check the creators he supports You will see that are hard working People that also care about the community and are original content creators.
Don't want to keep going because as You said You don't want to start any drama and neither do I. But had to comment because I don't think You are being fair to Kpine or any of the creators that get his support.
I work very hard every single day and I won't be put down that way. You can't just come and make a comment like this trying to take off value on what I do just because You don't like it.

kpine has voted 293 authors in the last 6 months, with about 1/4 of those receiving more than 10 votes.  That isn't actually too bad compared to some.

The general focus is on Steemians that are promoting and doing good things for Steem, and while I agree a vote that big could be spread further, issuing a bigger vote to those doing well makes their content more visible.

I've seen the vote removed for what you mention, but it's clear they don't check daily.

And well, this is much better than kpine (or kpine's delegator riverhead) producing crap content and up-voting it 10 times a day - which in a proof of stake world, they are perfectly entitled to do so.

Dude! What is Strange really about him making 3500 STEEM? **His Stake,** He Can do whatever He damn well pleases with it.

I find this very **strange**..

> I believe curation should be spread to the more Steemians possible and the system needs to be fair. Lately, something bugs me and I am tired to see a simple picture get upvoted with a 3$ payouts on autopilot!

There's nothing like shit posts, there are people who find photography content to be of value. If it's not for you, then ignore it. Maybe that's what he appreciates the most.

You Certainly Should Have No & DON'T  HAVE ANY Say on How another Person Spends his own Stake, that **He Bought With HIS OWN Money.**

This Video Only Makes You Seem Bitter. Like @sergiomendes says, if you are keen on the list of people he is currently supporting, they are very **passionate, authentic, consistent and community oriented, DAILY content creators** 

You Also Have to Realize, for him to Make that Much Steem, He Needs to Support People who are constantly creating content, daily. If we don't create, he doesn't make any Curation Rewards. 

Also, you have to realize not everyone has the time to do manual curation. And there's no problem with auto pilot. 

This is really a none issue, whether you think it's fair or not doesn't really matter. If you wanna add value, buy some STEEM and **Be the Change You Want to See**...

I think his support is very evenly distributed, I think what you meant to say to Kpine is to **add you on his auto voter.**

Anyways, I am Super Thankful to Have Found Favor and Support from Kpine. It took me over 6 months of daily content creation for him to support me. And like everyone else, I had never talked or asked him for it, he found me and has held my hand since then. Thank You @kpine ❤⚘

###### PS; Emphasis on Bold & Capitalized Words...

Hmm I think in case of manual kuration it'll be more honest to rest others. Anyway people which you listed also make good content. Of course maybe I don't know all details. But let's don't forget that he has his right to upvote that people whom he want. 

I think the that curating is a great responsibility here in the ecosystem but building your stake allows you to do with it what you want which is what seems to be happening here.  While manybother manually curate, others use their stake to gain some more stake which they earn by their investment.  This is why the improvements in distribution to smaller users will continue to improve curation efforts.  However, we cannot criticize what others do with their stake as they have earned that right.
