I may or may not have missed the @commentrewarder period, as I think it's 3 days, but whatever.
I've been trying out @commentrewarder myself. I like it so far. Although I wouldn't go so far as to enabled 25% reward. I'm still trying to rebuild my account after a long hiatus and having to sell my Hive to pay bills.
I hope that it will help with getting engagement with posts. I haven't seen that much so far but I may just need to slowly rebuild my account as many of my followers are likely inactive now.
Even though it's likely only a few pennies, it matters. People play a lot of those pay to earn games for pennies at a time. I wouldn't mind a bunch of minnows interacting if they can provide proper engagement.
I'm also gonna try to interact with more posts myself. Try being the key word.
I think you might have missed the deadline, but have an upvote anyway!
I can relate to having to sell Hive to pay bills; had to do a major powerdown about 18 months ago to pay a property tax bill. Hated doing it, but this IS here for a reason, and my reason was to avoid a tax foreclosure.
So far, I have been fairly impressed with the turnout... especially with the fact that so many OGs have suddenly show up, which lets me know people are still here, even if they are quiet. it has been a long time since I have had 50 comments on a post... probably have to go back to 2018-19 for that. The bot recently posted that 17 people will get a reward, so that's not too shabby.
25% won't be an every time occurrence, but I will definitely use the service again.
