Well i am sure that once everyone is commenting more than "vote you / you vote me" and once most whale-ish authors start doing as @cryptoctopus does and vote comments that are worth it.
New comer bloggers will see a source of rewards for quality comments while they develop their follower base
Curators, can keep an eye on the authors whose comment got so highly voted as it indicates potentially good content will be coming from that author...
To express it mathematically = (Win / Win)^n
HODL STEEM !
Pump pump pump... Never dump!
This is the future of our platform!
While I can find truth to your argument I can likewise see that virtuous well thought out comments like my initial entry into this thread more often than not go unrewarded..
Probably because you replied to me, and i am a small fish (And could not vote yet because i am loading VP )
Then let us be small fish together... :) and grow inside this steemit pond.
Small fish, yo!
Are we having a small fish meeting over here?
Ok, so this is where all the small fish are hiding!!

Aren't we small fish supposed to form a school, or something?
Exactly! Steemit is still relatively new and growing, and good content, whether posts or comments, will always find a way to shine through. I’m just a minnow now, but in the week that I’ve been here I’ve gained a following of a couple dozen folks and seen the potential of greater rewards by convert some BTC to STEEM to reap the rewards. My best advice for new Steemians is WRITE POSTS. I don’t mean post useless memes. I mean actually create something new and unique and contribute to the platform.
I also find that most comments, despite being of good quality, will go unrewarded, or have a small reward. However, every once in a while they will get a very nice reward, so I guess you might think of each good comments as a gamble that pays off every once in a while.
like the roulette Red/Black :)
True, lets see if any of these gambles actually pay dividends
