When curators indeed read the article, I would be so happy, since this is what is missing here on Steemit. So many votes but so little reads.
I don't believe that a separate comment pool will make that happen. In fact, I think that blind bot autovoting on comments would increase with a separate pool a lot. If there are two pools that you either compete in or abstain from, anyone wishing to compete and doesn't want to read comments will automate it for the curation rewards.
I believe comment curation (and their resulting order) is an important thing to keep human focused, moreso than post curation (which results in trending order).
If curation rewards were included the bot problem would be worse. Hence the reason they left that out to begin with.
They are included in the release. https://steemit.com/simplicity/@steemitblog/update-on-simplicity-cutting-complexity-with-steem-0-17-0
well I just read all comments and the whole post which is quite well put and not 5 miles long, so Stop: 00:08:13.702 for the comments and 2:43 on the post sooooo yeah ~11 minutes in total, support me read up on my posts, thanks :) everybody can read like a mad man, grow a mane and become a steemit lion :D
But I don't want to read them. I have shit to do, I have a life.
Thats a problem. That means as a non engaged user you're not adding value so therefore why should you be rewarded?
Those who are engaged should be rewarded which is the whole point because the engaged community are the people who will take steem to the moon! Not bloggers!
I'm glad to see you fighting the battle for comment rewards, @beanz. I would however prefer if we skipped it this hardfork, as the ideas being proposed by the developers currently seem half-baked and ill-conceived. Let's try to get it right so that it sticks the first time.
