Not everyone needs to be an author, I'm sure we have plenty of those on Hive who force themselves to become authors cause of the rewards but I think it's improving over time, if stakeholders focused a bit more on being a bit more generous with their upvote mana on comments I think regular users could definitely make more here socializing and having fun than they would anywhere else. Maybe facebook isn't a great comparison there but the amount of time and effort people put on reddit comments just to be helpful or interesting or for some attention strangers on the internet may give them in the form of valueless internet points it really makes me curious to find out how this platform with that activity and range of people would evolve over time.
Imagine you open up a post and there's thousands of upvotes on the top comment with hundreds of $ in rewards and tens if not hundreds of replies and discussions, and hopefully also a fraction of downvotes that'd be normalized by then.
I was regularly rewarding quality comments in such a way when my vote was over 5 cents and will again. I just don't want to risk it being dust 😂
Most can't get above the dust level, unless we are in a bull market. If @lpff or @anidiotexplores commented on my crap then I would upvote their comment, probably at a greater weight than normal. It's not a bad idea, but as you say.., many other's ignore comment voting or can't justify it.
There are not enough Orca's.
Uhm yeah! now that would be a very interesting thing to analyze and definitely figure out why the hell it's not happening more often like it's supposed to be.
