RE: The virtuous cycle of upvoting your comment section...
You make a really good point. I have thought form the very beginning that I feel we are missing something in Steem and that it is comments.
I often see written on Reddit that the real jokes are in the comments. And I think that is true. Reading comments on people posts in Reddit is usually much more interesting than reading the actual post.
I think we have an issue in Steemit where comments do not matter as much as the actual posts. Yet, if I am correct, we have a separate reward pool for comments.
My question is, do we need to change the way in which voting for comments works? If we have a separate reward pool for comments, can we create a separate VP for users so that they are more inclined to upvote quality comments?
On Steem, we all know that collaboration is really what is going to make us grow. Could pushing people to comment actually help us grow faster?
100% true. That's always been my experience. Sometimes i would just scan the post for context and then read all the comments.
It's all the same reward pool. Everybody distributes reward (or penalty) according to their votes, and can choose whether to reward posts, comments, or both.
You are right, idk why I thought that there was a separate reward pool for comments.
Hmmmmmmm...... Kind of ruins my idea xD Back to the drawing board!
