I would assume that it isn't by accident - but that could be because I have been on Hive for so long, I trust very few :D
I think it is part of the reason people tend to give me decent replies as I know the topics and post lengths set a barrier for many. I don't see it as paying for comments though, it is for rewarding for consuming and I think that some people who don't post much but do spend time commenting, should be rewarded a bit when possible.
Let's see if my baby account will follow.

I think there is a general 'reward every comment on my post/s' thing going on, and jlufer does like a comment or two.
It would be great to see people issuing on the posts of others - I need a chart for that :)
