I'm hereby editing a post I made less than an hour ago:
I saw "unauthorized" upvotes in my name for @steemsports & @minnowbooster. I didn't understand why, made a rash conclusion that @steemvoter was doing something shady, and made a post asking WTF was going on.
@edb responsibly called me on it:
THANK YOU @edb for being a responsible community member and pointing out my error in judgment so that I may correct myself!
THANK YOU @steemvoter for disclosing the terms of your service and realistically for being pretty reliable over the years.
My bad, y'all - STEEM ON!
ORIGINAL POST
I use @steemvoter to enhance my steemy experience.
I use this service to auto upvote accounts I deem worthy so that I can consistently support them without missing a single post. I am opted out of their guild vote service, wherein they take 1 full upvote a day to support some account chosen by the community.
Steemvoter is the only service I use to auto upvote posts, and I'm seeing something unsettling:
My account @saramiller is auto upvoting @steemsports & @minnowbooster - 2 accounts I DID NOT GIVE PERMISSION to upvote!
Why is my account automatically upvoting @steemsports & @minnowbooster?
I'm seeing this happen to multiple accounts (thanks to @quinneaker for bringing it to my attention), so the intention of this post is to ask if anyone else encountering this problem?
WTF is happening?
Is this a glitch from @steemvoter or another service?
Most importantly, where do I go to find resolution?
This is not acceptable.
💛 Sara!
They're not using my vote, but I did give them permission. Please read the FAQ before creating drama:

THANK YOU @edb!
Appreciate your response & that you're holding ME responsible for jumping the gun to call foul.
Happy to admit my mistake, and even happier to know this service is NOT being dishonorable.
I will edit this post to reflect the answer you provided...which @steemvoter provided all along too.
Yes, tacit consent is totally consent, and this is disclosed as the "fee" so to speak of using their service. I did not read closely, so my bad.

On a fairly side-stepped topic: what app can I use to auto schedule my posts? I had been using streemian, but they are shutting down. Apologies for the randomness, but I would really appreciate any input.

What ever happened to the decline payout method of posting? I found that useful for putting up other people's content...
