I have found that from time to time I have to do a cleaning and flag a few as a warning to the rest. Mostly though I try to reward all who try. With Steem prices increasing, it is the least I can do. I do think that in the future however that the people who focus only on comment reward are going to be left out in the cold.
I would love it if more people discussed with each other in the comment sections though. It takes me longer to answer these days than to write a post... :D
You are doing it the right way - i personally flag only people with hate speech and radical political things - i could do more but it is too much already - i hear you on time invest to answer comments - i was guilty often but usually or too often most comments are for the bin - especially most of the ones commenting within 20 seconds after I posted - in early days i tried to educate them and explaining that actually reading and proper engaging might be better long-termed but I felt it did not make sense a lot - i tend to ignore bullshit comments - even I know we all should do this together to help the platform.
btw - watch that newbie - looks interesting :-)! @pleasestop - I like that!!! #fightspam
