What is Topcomment?
The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.

Weekly stats
To provide transparency I'm generating a list of all comments that were upvoted by @topcomment in the past week.
The total number of upvoted comments in the past week is: 89
The following table shows all upvoted comments of the past 7 days.
Not in this list? Try to engage some more in the comment sections of Hive blogs and who knows someone will nominate your comment or I will find it myself.
Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?
Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.
Here are the current guidelines:
1. Effort in the comment
A comment must show effort. I’ve received some nominations with just a few words, which, while valuable to the author, do not meet the criteria for an upvote from Topcomment.
2. Substantive engagement with the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author’s ideas.
3. No hate speech, racism, or conspiracy theories
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.
4. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.
5. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.
6. Comments with significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.
7. Giveaways or contest entries
Entries related to giveaways or contests are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.
8. Comments that don’t engage with the author’s blog
Comments that focus solely on the commenter’s own story, without engaging with the blog post itself, will not receive an upvote.
