RE: When you upvote - you make money - when you comment you make nothing?

in #steem8 years ago

You can upvote comments, and get paid.

If people see your comments (like this one) and someone agrees with me, they can also click my name, and see my blog. Which often gets them to read some of my other steem submissions.

Commenting isn't broken. Just a lot of people are lazy and don't want to spend the time to think of something creative to say.

See he got 2 votes! Sadly we just aren't worth anything yet haha!

Well, you are worth an upvote from me, krypto. :)

Still, the person who posts the main topic will inevitably get more upvotes than the commentor. Even if the value of the comment is greater.

if the value of the comment is greater then the main topic, the comment-writer is free to post his comment as a new steemit article, and maybe even add some extra to it.

You bring a good point however.

Never thought of that. But it is a good idea to consider when you run out of topics to write on :)

Yes, that is true - and I do upvote comments when I see good comments posted. I just think if commenters would get a littlebit of reward for taking the time to write a few sentences, I´m sure that would contribute to more commenting and then the upvoting from the rest of us on comments would be the cherry on the top.

The comment sections are filled with bots spamming it up nowadays...

Is there not ways to battle that?

I think a good comment is very visible from bot-comments that seem to be short one-liners.

yes agree

You're exactly right.
