Incentivizing Comments Thru CR [Testing it Out]


It feels like only yesterday when I read Acid's post tossing the idea of a feature that rewards those who comment under our posts so I was wowed two days ago when I learned that it is already a reality here on Hive. It's been running for over a week now (I'm late to know, but probably still earlier than most😊). It was actually announced 12 days ago but I must have been under a huge rock to have not read or heard about it, lol! But yeah, thanks to HiveTrending for working on it in collaboration with Acid.

It is my practice to upvote comments on my posts. It's my way of appreciating those who read (or visit) my content. Most of the time, my voting mana gets wrecked, especially after curating the comments (usually around 27-30% upvote for each comment) and upvoting the commenters' posts. So I was chuffed when CommentRewarder (CR) came along.

What is it?

It's a bot that rewards comments. It helps authors incentivize their engagers without worrying about the "dust" threshold. Read this for more detailed info.

I adore how uncomplicated it is to use.

Yep, that's how easy-peasy it is! No technical know-how is required and it can be done in all frontends too! Although the CR icon only displays on Peakd.

One thing I like about the service is that the commenters partake or share in your content reward. They will receive them as tips (HIVE and HBD) as you receive your post's payout. That's quite sweet, in my opinion :)

Anyway, yesterday was my first time trying it out. It makes me glad that I can now upvote replies to my posts with a lower percentage (too insignificant % they may seem) especially when my VP is down but the commenters will still receive some rewards on the post's payout time. Of course, I can also increase the vote percentage when my mana is high enough (rewards above the dust threshold) which means commenters will also receive payouts from my curation, aside from the ones through the CommentRewarder.

Thoughts

Everything begins with an idea indeed. CommentRewarder is an excellent feature that was born out of one. So if you have some ideas but don't know how to execute them, toss them out because someone around might be able to help :)

CR is a useful tool/service or feature we now have on the chain, thanks and kudos to brilliant thinking and collaborative minds that made it happen. You rock! Testing it out was quite exciting and felt a bit more special. Perhaps you want to try it out too.😉

I was really confused with what this was but your post made it simple to understand. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I'm glad this helped. All the best :)

This is a clear outcome of intelligent brainstorming from those that brought up the idea.
It's very great and can help boost effective engagements on posts in the blockchain.
I wouldn't say I will try it out because I don't really have appreciable HP and votes worth giving out to those who visit and comment on my post. I feel replying them is still nice.
But CR is a nice feature. I read about it from one of my friends too, @justclickindiva and now I'm seeing you write about it again.
Thanks for sharing friend, enjoy your day.

That is one of the main reasons it was created mate, since you can't vote the comments up past the threshold, you use small votes to direct the beneficiary rewards where to go as tips.

Wow
I didn't get that part clear.
I'm happy you here. Then CR is for me as well.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the mention. I appreciate it.

It's my pleasure friend.
Enjoy your weekend.

It's an awesome tool, and just as Acid mentioned, it's a way for users with less voting power to tip those who engage or comment meaningfully. No worries though if you can't use it yet 😉

Yeah!!
I didn't get that part clear but I'm good now, @acidyo has paved the way for me.

I haven't tried using it but already got a reward from engaging for people who try it. It's actually good and I feel that it is an effective way for people to increase engagement.

That's awesome! Real engagement is nice and CR is a great way to reward those who share their thoughts on posts :)

Indeed! I always feel that engagement on Hive is just quite low (or maybe sa akin lang) and now I think people will be he more engaged.

so the reward that the commenter gets is a fraction of the author's reward which is distributed through beneficiaries?
I think they get the exposure lately since I read some of the authors that I follow shared about it.
!PIZZA !LUV

Yes, that's correct. It's good that others are also sharing about it. The more people that learn about the feature/tool and use it, the better :) I like that we don't create more HIVE (token) when we share the rewards that way.

I see a lot of discussion about CommentRewarder and this is a great project indeed. Its good because it brings more engagement and this the best part of it. Great that you tried it and I hope to give it a try soon.
have a great weekend dear @ifarmgirl

Yes. If it doesn't bring more engagement, at least we can incentivize those who keep coming under our posts and share their thoughts/comments :)

Thank you for the good wishes and may you have a fabulous weekend too ❤️

This is nice, and it works great with the "Default beneficiaries" setting from some of the front ends. Peakd allows up to 8 default beneficiaries to be set so that you don't have to bother with the extra click.

That's right. We like it when things are straightforward :)

That's a wonderful inception on the hive chain. Those tippings may be dust yet it helps to strengthen our engagement. Adding to that I also love commenting on people post who are ready to engage with reply and I must say you are one of those.
Happy Sunday n have a nice week

If my upvoting power is quite low, I just give tokens to my commenters, but I always upvote the articles I read or those that catch my interest.
Gonna try this the next time I publish an article..

Your LOH token balance is not sufficient to send tips. Please hold a minimum of 25 LOH tokens to send tips.

That's awesome sis :) Madalas low ang mana ko. Iniisip ko unfollow yung curation trail pero hindi ako palaging online so okay na din para d masayang VP hehe.

To conserve your Hive account's Voting Power, you need to either reduce the percentage of each vote on some or all of your curation trails, and/or set a higher voting threshold. 🤓 That way, you would still have enough left for manual curation. 😏

!HOPE !DIY

@savvytester just sent you a DIY token as a little appreciation for your comment dear @ifarmgirl! Feel free to multiply it by sending someone else !DIY in a comment :) You can do that x times a day depending on your balance so:

Don't be shy - share some DIY!

You can query your personal balance by !DIYSTATS

Comment Rewarder concept is pretty innovative and it should boost up the engaging through comments on the Hive blockchain. So, let's go!

Hi, @ifarmgirl, I am using it in all my posts,

If it works, I have obtained rewards as well as the people who comment on the posts

Thanks for the step by step

That's fantastic! It's certainly a great feature/tool for us here on the chain. Thank you for sharing your experience :)

!LADY

View or trade LOH tokens.


@ifarmgirl, you successfully shared 0.1000 LOH with @eve66 and you earned 0.1000 LOH as tips. (1/13 calls)

Use !LADY command to share LOH! More details available in this post.

Still don't know too much about it. Do I need to do anything about it?
I will try to read those your you shared here as reference.
Thanks for sharing.

Take your time, Inti :) Read them through and decide whether you will try it out or not. Cheers 😉

Kaya Pala ngtaka ako bakit may display Ng message icon Yung sayo. Kaya Pala😁

Hehe, try ko. And medyo mababa voting power ko these days kaya helpful si CR.

Happy new week, sis :)

Thank you sis♥️. SA akin nga minsan walang value vote KO.😬😁

Ganon talaga pag nagbu-build pa :)

Let's see what happens and if post are not invade by comments farmings people. In other hand, not many small or new users know about this new Feature.

Authors can choose which comments to reward. And we can distinguish those who read the post from the ones who didn't :)

I was excited when I read it too , Acid brought up a very brilliant initiative. I think it will also increase the level of engagement of the chain.

You have a beautiful way of explaining things hehe. I'm sure many people will start using commentrewarder payout options in no time.

Thanks for testing it out!

Pleasure. It's an awesome tool! Thanks

This is great project

It sure is. 😉

Thanks for this functionality.

This is a beautiful initiative really. 😊

PIZZA!
