RE: ⏺Steemit price crashing, what now?
They don't have to be spam. Spammy comments can be seen from a mile away. I know a hand full of people (including myself) who do 100+ per day, and they are genuine comments. The point is to engage with as many different people as possible, to get as much exposure possible in the beginning.
I make an assertive effort to not be spammy. As a matter of fact, I strive to always right the most quality comment that I can.
But I get what you are saying. You are really focusing quite a lot on quality! Which is awesome.
I try not to link my upvoting with my commenting. I only upvote on the posts that I think deserve it (even though it's only 10 cents LOL!). The rest of them, I see it as me doing my part.
It's sort of like the debate between deciding whether to reward a homeless man for begging.. I have come to the conclusion that if I have the money to give, then I do. It doesn't matter what they do with it, it's about the concept of giving that will set you up to be bulletproof :)
Sure, I also don't reward people with bad post or wrong information even if I comment that they didn't consider this or that. Or sometimes the post isn't bad, but it just doesn't have the correct information, in which case I might comment something hopefully constructive, but I don't upvote it.
Also sometimes if something already has +$100, I might comment, but not up vote because no one cares about my +$0.01 at that point, but most of the time I still do up vote. Anyway, I'd rather up vote people's posts that don't have a lot of up votes or at least not 100 worth.
So yeah, most of the time when I take my time to comment on something I already consider it a good post and therefore up vote it also. Sometimes that isn't the case.
Yeah, I get you.
As much as the $ amount a post has made is important, I care just as much about the quantity of the upvotes. Scrapping the concept completely of the votes being worth anything to begin with, the amount that you are getting on a post means a lot. It means people are enjoying your content :)
But yeah I get was you're saying. If you have a smaller upvote, it also really won't make much of a difference on a big post. Besides the fact that after a certain amount, those people don't really even care anymore about how many votes it's getting :P
