Before Steem I used to read Hacker News on a regular basis. One of the most interesting things there was that the comments were often MUCH more interesting than the post that they were commenting on. Many times I would just get the gist of the post from the title and skip right to reading the comments.

No matter what the topic (it was all tech/science type stuff) it seemed there were people who were extremely knowledgeable about the subject posting in the comments. The comments also served as a good way to judge if the post was worth reading at all. The comments would let you know if it was BS or actually something interesting.

Anyway, I always wondered how they were able to accomplish that and wished certain Steem communities could be like that some day.
