The main reason for this change is so that comments have an equal opportunity to collect rewards. With the current implementation, if there is 5 minutes left on the parent post's payout window and someone makes a great comment - it only has 5 minutes to collect upvotes/rewards. The change will allow it to have its own countdown clock, which starts when the comment is created. Seems like a no-brainer 'yes' :)

Why now it is that it works as payment for comments?
I don't see the point in this, other than maybe to slow the the amount of steem given out daily
The amount of STEEM given out via the rewards pool will not change.
Agreed
This has my vote because it improves the incentives for continued discussion on a post.
