Great chat, gents.
If commenting on my post costs a minnow a chance to write one of their own posts that day, there's a social value that comes with that.
I'm going to be more driven to pay attention and upvote.
I'm hoping follows don't cost too much RCs, or that'll prevent new users from building their feed. We don't want them stuck with just Trending and New for their reading material in those first couple of weeks.
