As far as I know, Quuu started first before Quuu Promote, and they hand-curate the content (that’s probably how WP Mayor articles got in). Then, Quuu Promote adds to the content their researchers are finding and promoting via Quuu.
It’s a great service, but I’m not quite content leaving it 100% automated. I always check daily to be sure the articles align with my goals and vision. Sometimes article might be great, but they don’t quite fit my audience or recommend things I wouldn’t, etc.
I kind of agree with Steve, Quuu is great for social media automation but I always find and curate my own content too and interact with my followers. Makes it feel less robotic.
