In order to reward comments that we would like to be rewarded, human consciousness is required to spend time and pay attention to evaluate the content. This is how everything in life is supposed to work, where you are responsible for your evaluations of something and judge it accordingly. The reason comments are not being rewarded is because people who do the engaging outnumber those who have the power to reward. Hence, the appeal to bots.

This is a major claim, of major importance. More focus on concious judgement and moving away from the constant use of bots or pushing on the work to others will be absolutely necessary to establish this platform as a real, trustable, social media.
