RE: The Importance of Comment Voting

in #curation8 years ago

I think now Steemit really need this one

I've read several articles about the importance of interaction in steemit, and one of them is by commenting. I think, would be even better if the best comments of steemit users incorporated into a new feature, "TRENDING COMMENTS". This will be one of encouragement for users to give their best comments in steemit, The users not only get votes from their comments, but can be read by most other users.

I really like this idea. Comments are as important as posts and deserves a section of its own. Also a way to help out with accountability and for the community to notice and even weigh in on high comment payouts as well. Thanks @steemvest17

Is the Active page showing posts that have a lot of comments? I'll go where the conversations are. Obviously we need to cope with comment spam (e.g. 'nice post'). That doesn't add value

unfortunately, we cannot stop these but it's better that real spam.
then again, instead of nice post , people could comment with

nice comment :-)

I thought, "Trending Comments" is a feature that showing the best comments, and already get paid from the number of votes. Just as trending posts. People will see good comments, not spam.

Steemit was designed to discourage spam. I had real spam in a comment yesterday, but that account was flagged to nothing very quickly.

As it stands a top post may have hundreds of votes, but very few comments. That suggests to me that people are voting for curation rewards and we see a lot of voting bots out there. I don't see many comments from the whales who vote up my posts. I hope that as Steemit grows we will see more engagement

Me, too, really hope so, Steemit may be the best place, not only for money. I am not a developer, just a user, perhaps my idea can be used. Thanks @steevc :)

Yes, this is a good idea --- Kevin might agree...... the comments section is full of gold nuggets and I remember this daily!!
