Sure it can be good content. But it's really up to the original poster if he finds your comment "Worthwile". I think that there lies the distinction. The upvote for your own post is imo considered as a reward from the blockchain whereas the upvote on your comment is more like laughing at your own joke. Leave it to others to decide if your comment is good or not. If it's good people should upvote. Unfortunately it doesn't work like this around here.

I see greed is taking over. Instead of upvoting good content from new writers the whales tend to upvote only the people they already upvote. They have created exactly that what they opposed in the first place: A rich 1%. Congratz, you have all the power. However, what they fail to realise is that the coin only will grow in worth if a lot of it is distributed to newcomers with good content.

And when that fails people will resort to other ways of getting rewarded, like crypto-p for example. In fact, I think I should write a post on this exact theory. On the other hand, no one will actually read it nor upvote it anyway so maybe I should not bother.

Best thing the whales can do is hold on to their power and steem so they can go down with it once they wrecked their own ship. That's the way its going to be if they don't start to redistribute that what they have. And that would be an incredible shame.

They have the power to make this network worth ten times over but choose to stick to what they have. That way it will never grow to its full potential.

Several curation trails have been set up which I believe is a good thing. That way good people will be stimulate the writers to grow. And yes, I am talking about rewards. As for me, I am typing about 5 hours a day and am active the rest of the day (On Steem or Discord) but my rewards suck big time. I literally work for less than 1 dollar an hour. And I am not the only one.

But I know things will change, at least for me. That doesn't mean I get impatient. I get impatient when other people promise things and earn big money out of that promise but fail to follow up to that promise.

WOW... I just got the typing demon. Sorry.

Should have started a post LOL
