I have been using the new @commentrewarder service for about a week now and as I am new to Hive it has helped me to give out some extra rewards to people who make the effort to comment on my posts. As my stake is quite low, despite already buying around 800 Hive and powering it up, it means I can't give out a meaningful vote by way of appreciation for comments on my posts.
This is exactly where @commentrewarder can step in and help out. It's been a really helpful service. It means that despite having a low stake I can still give out something a little more valuable as a reward to commenters of my posts. I now always put at the bottom of each post: This is a Commentrewarder engaged post. Comments on this post will receive a tip on post payout.
I do this so it's very clear that I am using @commentrewarder. However, I have already had what I think might be comments on my posts designed purely to grab some extra tips. So you have to be careful when liking comments to ensure spam or tip grab comments that are meaningless and not constructive are not upvoted, and therefore don't get the tip.
But that's the great thing about @commentrewarder you are in control of who gets the tips. So long as comments are constructive in some way then they'll get a vote from me and therefore a tip when the post pays out.
You can't reward comments because you delegate almost your entire stake.
We've had this conversation already and I have explained why.
Welcome to Hive!
In some ways, you're the perfect candidate for using CommentRewarder because you can offer an incentive for engagement even though you might not have the Hive Power to upvote comments.
This used to be a lot easier when we had $1+ Hive, but times have changed, so this seems like a viable option until better times return.
I checked some of your posts and your relative fluency and comfort with the platform suggests that you have brought a fair bit of social media and blogging experience with you, here?
In terms of blogging experience I had a short period on Steemit back in 2017 but Hive is a different creature that's for sure, I can not believe how different it is to Steemit.
My writing has been fine tuned probably as I have a law degree, write various academic texts and am a passionate scriptwriter for television and film but can't quite crack the industry. I also can't stay away from politics - sadly!
