RE: Follow Friday - Voting by hand
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I agree with most of what you are saying, but not all. As a content creator I shouldn't be penalized (via smaller votes) because my post already has too many rewards. If someone writes a good post they absolutely earn as much rewards as possible. If we spend all of our time worrying about how other people are going to vote or trying to game the system to "screw over" the people who are just here for the curation rewards we are going to end up disenfranchising a large portion of the user base. No wonder people don't stick around long... That's just my opinion.

I am saying that people could transfer their votes to your comments rather than the post itself, so you make the same and it encourages you to respond. That seems reasonable to me. We have seen how some people can expect huge votes every time, regardless of what they post and I don't want to play that game. If I see two equally good posts where one has $20 and the other 50c then guess where my vote will go. I can find plenty of examples of the latter. That said, I see some good creators who do get good votes from big projects without sucking up to anyone. They still don't get many comments though and I think that is a shame.
Like I said, I agree with a lot of what you said and to be fair it is your vote, you can do whatever you want with it. I fully respect that.
I think it is fair for those who do actually care about your posts to get a better return on their vote. I vote on most comments I get so that even small accounts make something. I want to drive engagement and not just a 'dash for cash' :)
I've been trying to vote comments more lately too. I was horrible at that before.
I would rather support people who do engage. Some post, but rarely comment.
