RE: Should Comments Have Their Own Reward Pool?
I think comments should have their own pool. It's a great thing to see a blog with great content but sometimes it's even more engaging to frequently visit a blog because of people's comments, hasn't that ever happen to you?
I have a blog I go to a few times a day and sometimes there's more fun in the comments that in the post itself. Also, look at 9gag, most of the comments there are pricelessss
How much? I don't know. 38% sounds a bit much but we need to put this to the test before deciding a final number.
It happens to me all the time. I think we are under estimating the value of commenters currently because of the curation incentives. We are also under estimating the potential for this drawing in many new social media contributors who are more likely to contribute comments than to write an actual blog post. If this was done right we could see the price of steem go up again due to a sudden influx of new users who would come to get paid for their comments.
