"A post that has no comments is worthless"
I don't think that's necessarily true. Some issues may have lot of debate, others not so much - but it doesn't mean the value of a post is correlated with the comments. Perhaps it would need rephrasing?

I'm open to suggestions.
For me personally, an uncommented post is no different than watching TV, but STEEMIT is ment as a social medium.
Yet: Obviously, the value of a post isn't proportional to the count of comments on it.
I would give it a positive spin so to speak, in terms of comments = enrichment of content.
"If you find a post that you like, a point you disagree - comment freely. Discussion enriches the original content". Something of that nature.
Would that be a good code to steem by, or would it encourage spam ?
Then again - If you don't comment, you can't get voted on, but only curate.
I'm gonna leave it for now.
I agree that it's not perfect.
I'm not native english btw - sorry if i write a bit strange sometimes
I'm not native either, so some times my expressions are suboptimal as well. Don't worry.
As for the question, I don't know - low quality comments won't get upvotes anyway, so spammers would quit that after a while.
Exactly.
GOLDEN RULE: the value of social network is not the content, but rather the network.
No but it is proportional to something else about comments ;)
Remember I wrote else where I am working on solutions to everything that is broken about Steem.
Maybe it's not an algorithm that needs to be fixed.
Maybe steemit will already reward social behaviour in the long run.
An analysis tool to figure out if somebody acted selfish ( cashing in big, but not engaging in the community, not voting ) would be of great help.
I simply unfollow all users, that don't vote on anything.
That list is growing.
I don't need an algorithm for that.
