This thought has been bugging me as well, although I haven't really written about it. The idea that most of my rewards are from my own delegations or otherwise, and that it seems that most of my replies are from communities that have obligations to reply. I guess that is the sort of thing that would change as the platform grew bigger... but seeing as we are relatively small, then this sort of thing is bound to happen../
Thanks for the great comment @bengy. It is refreshing to know I am not the only one that feels like this. I guess in the end rewards are rewards though and I shouldn't complain. My concern is what is the point of growing your account if this is the model that earns the best rewards. I don't want to delegate all of my SP away to get the best payout. I would rather grow my account so I can give larger upvotes to people with good content and vice versa for them.
I don't mind the comments because it is part of the community. Many times what starts as an obligation or requirement turns in to a legitimate follow and return follow.
