As far as I know auto vote bot is a good idea for Steemit users that are unable to keep track on their supported author's articles. It actually solve the inactivity when it comes to the curation part.

The other beauty of it is the fact that there are communities or solo curators that are doing a great job when it comes to curating quality contents who set-up a curation trail for everyone to follow. Since scouting for quality contents isn't easy to accomplishment through the platform, there are hardworking communities who tirelessly look through the posts and trying to discover contents that are deserving to be recognized or being largely upvoted.

By following their curation trail, you are basically supporting the communities' goal and indirectly supporting an author's article that is deemed to be of good quality.

Personally, I think that this is best thing that you can do in Steemit if in case you don't have the luxury of time to do it.

Now, what are the downside or possibly the bad effect for this way of curation?

I've read some feedback about it, several months ago, one of the author is basically highlighting the fact that even though the article receive a decent amount of reward and few hundreds of voters (which is considered good in Steemit standard), the article only receive a few comments. Why is that? It means that very few people actually saw the article. And it received very little engagement.

Well, if an author is only here for the reward then that's ok. But for some authors they also want to receive some feedback from the community and possibly engage to them to share their insights to one another.

Like in any other good things that we can have, there will also a downside to it. Even so, I still think that there is more good to it than its bad side.
