Yeah - I see posts on Facebook with 50 or 100+ comments all the time. None of them are receiving comment rewards.
The problem is that we have a very tiny amount of users. Of course we're not going to have much engagement when there are only a few hundred actual people engaging on the platform every day. They're trying to fix a problem with the wrong solution.
I get your point and I agree.
Maybe at this point in time the increase is needed, this could be reduced at the proper time?
I don't believe so. We need more active users, not more rewards schemes for the tiny amount of users that are currently here.
