Autovoting seems counterproductive to what Steemit is about. It is not engaging and interesting just because a bot liked/voted on it.

I prefer to read articles and watch the videos people post. If I like it, I will upvote it. If I am really interested I will leave a genuine reply.

I have almost completely given up Facebook due to bots, memes, and such. I would hate to see Steemit go down the same road.

If you know you are getting autovotes then why 'try'? People will go for the easy cash and post pointless, worthless, content just to earn a few pennies.
