Flagging for being a repetitive bot. =b

Does not compute

This is a similar circular argument to the one I called out Dan about (and you upvoted my comment there). Steem gets to where it isn't now in part by broadening the rule set to be less narrowly focused on a particular type of post-centric content (and long-form post-centric at that). That will open up the incentives for other types of content and engagement to (potentially) flourish. I was personally involved with an effort to try to spark interest in comment-centric engagement which didn't go anywhere for a variety of reasons but lack of rewards and voting power for comments was one of them. I'd prefer to see a mechanism where rewards flow to wherever there is perceived value and engagement, whether that happens to be posts or comments without any specific quota on each but given that isn't happening now this seems like a reasonable experiment.

I see your point there. I said what I said above because I haven't seen any development towards a comment plugin for Steem yet and haven't perceived much demand for such a thing yet. I think that kind of thing will be viable with much less than 38% of the rewards.
