I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between someone's pet auto include and the actual niche songs that sneak in and die round 1.

Also I agree with this; I don't think that many people would spend their auto on intentionally bad/disliked stuff (not to say that no one would do that). For the most part people would use it on (usually obscure) stuff that they wanted to show off/spread exposure but they knew wouldn't gain enough supports in the nom phase. In that sense it would help the aspect of discoverability in the contest, which many people have stated is their primary goal in VGMC. The concern of auto-includes taking up a large portion of the bracket is something that would need to be considered when deciding how to implement it.

Maybe the idea of having to spend X of your available supports to use an auto? (Obviously each user would get a max of 1 auto regardless) Basically there would have to be some reason for people to choose not to use an auto, which would cut down on the total number of autos in the bracket.
