It just seems like a way to try and get rewards for little work.
Out of context, this is acceptable. I mean low rewards, low effort. Most people (including me) are earning cents (and not dollars) with most of their posts. Low effort for low rewards is fine in my opinion. Some of the whales are earning hundreds of dollars with a single sentence, while many people are putting hours of hard work just/only to earn a few cents. I think that that is not good. But this is just/only my opinion.
Hive is not 'fair' by nature. Whales are likely to support each other as they may be friends or they think that those who invest money/effort should get rewarded. I may benefit from having been to various meetups and just being a prolific commenter. I will still say that Hive has to be a good social experience for me. Building connections with people tends to pay off.
I get that people are desperate for any rewards and will do what they see others earning from. I care about what is good for Hive. If it is seen as full of junk posts then we lose.
Find the stuff you enjoy and tell the creators what you liked. They really appreciate that. I see great stuff that gets hardly any comments apart from mine.

Everyone should do this, and we would all win.
The problem is the fact that most people are selfish and greedy, and they focus only on their own posts.
We already lost because of the above mentioned thing.
This platform is doomed by its own users.
I already do that. For example I tell them what the photo is similar to.
Nowadays the real, human comments are rare on the Hive blockchain. The average number of comments per post is 2-3, and most of those are bot comments. This platform looks like a ghost town from outside.
Like I said above: This platform is doomed by its own users.
Well, most of its users. Some people are trying to save it.
By the way, thank you for the beer.
Have some !PIZZA.

Lack of activity can depend on where you look. I get loads of comments on some of my posts. It's a matter of getting conversations going. Just saying 'nice post' is not interesting. Also there are plenty of people who do not self-vote and go out of their way to help others. Bad stuff goes on, but plenty of good too. Work with those who are doing good to make it better.
I think Hive is worth fighting for.
You do not need to tell me that. I do not used to do that.
Although I see people, who do this. And it is kind of annoying. Writing "nice post" is meaningless, spam-like, attention-seeker. It only shows that the commenter do not really care about the post.
This is true for me. I do not self-upvote since a long time, and I support others either with an upvote, or with some kind of token. Or with both.
This is what I am trying to do.
I agree with this.
I wasn't accusing you of the less good actions. Actually Hive has less spam comments than some other platforms I've used. I just think people need to try to leave a comment as well as a vote and not just respond to comments on their own posts, as some do.
We need to be as social as we would be elsewhere.
Now this post has lots of comments :)
