I did earn a lot that way as well! I got some $18 votes from a couple whales on comments, even a $80 from blocktrades once hahaha. I used to farm that. But now that the vote efficiency has been reduced to 50/50 and the vote value has gone down by a lot, people seem to have stopped upvoting as many comments and are instead focusing on using their votes for curation rewards (at least I am).

$80 on a comment?
That must have been a real double take moment!
I did used to put more effort into commenting when there were potential rewards, but I did find it a chore. I've always preferred to earn through posting.
I wonder if @abh12345 could do some analysis of how earnings for votes and comments have changed.
I actually quite like his new alt token system for rewarding comments.
!ENGAGE 20
Yeah! I want to research these tokens since a few days ago when I started getting a few due to my frequent comments.
I never found it bothersome, I read and type really fast, so I can make 30 comments in around 10 to 15 minutes. At that time, I wanted to increase my engagement. Ironic how the token you gave me has that name :P
The premise was that the more comments I made, the more of a chance that someone would click on my name and either follow me or vote a post. It worked better than I expected. I got around 900 followers in a month from 0 and many other benefits such as immediate invitations to join communities, lots of curation, etc.
I think commenting still has those benefits, and since I'm so talkative and happen to be skillful at it, it was never more than a really entertaining and productive pastime.
And if you see those statistics somewhere, do ping me, I'm as interested as you are because I find comment interactivity to be an essential asset on this platform.
You must have come across Asher's engagement leagues?
I have not! Tell me more. :)
Just ask to be added to the list at the bottom of this post, all the details are in it.
