New Mantra - Theory Proven - I live the way you worded it also - and yes I do believe sometimes the esteem votes come a few hours after posting time - probably let's their accts recharge closer towards the 100% end of the spectrum -

Using the esteem app for commenting surely is worth it - same applies to posting - however harder to post on a phone - you can always write a post and save it to post once on esteem..

Us minnows gotta figure any and all ways to help us climb the ranks and help the newest users see some reward.. a day 1 user getting .25 a comment isn't too shabby - ROCK ON ESTEEM !!
