RE: My Two Cents for Your Thoughts - Anything Less and YOU won't get PAID!
Interesting to read this in depth perspective! I did a very simple vlog in response to that post as well, just expressing my surprise and have found that so many people didn't know about the threshold. I agree that it would be really bad for the growth of the Steemiverse, so discouraging for lil plankton.
Yes I read your post first, I think that one thing people are overlooking though is that if a comment get to the 0.020 threshold it will pay a reward. That the votes ADD up. So if a person sees a vote on a comment that does not register 0.020 then they could add a vote to it that brings it to that anti-dust level, as I did on several comments on @juliabreheny introductory post. She is new and wanted to thank the commenters on her post, (I visited her post after reading yours), so to help her, I seconded her votes.
Hi @amymya, appreciate you stopping by! Wow, I wish everyone who stopped by here had gone to your post instead. Their comments would have earned more there! :)
I'm glad to see you and @fullcoverbetting also made a post on the same issues. I found out about it from Tim's post two days ago and left my thoughts there too. I just didn't have a chance to write my own post until today. I've been lazy to write lately, but felt terrible when I stopped by my favorite newbie author's post and they showed their support to me by upvoting my comment. I thought it only right to make a post so they should know not to upvote all the comments (some are okay) and go out and try to earn curation rewards instead. That way they can build up their account.
Many many people don't know about this threshold. As I stated on the comment I left on Tim's post, I had not known myself until I read his post.
We just need to remain aware of the issue, and help second votes on occasion. (Most of our votes go to new users), and they want to get followers, and one way of doing that is via interactions and votes, on comments they recieve. So I will try to be more aware of when they vote a comment and if needed follow up with a second vote.
You are right @bashadow, and thanks for bringing awareness to any of us that have that SP to spare. We can certainly help keep a newbie's upvote to others from being turned into dust by throwing ours after. I started doing that as well. As always, thanks for showing us other ways we can help out!
A new users vote may not be much, but it does show that they think that post, or that comment was worth rewarding, if I can help them reward a fellow user/commenter, then I try to help them out.
Yes it's good to spread the word so that people are aware and can make decisions on how they vote with this knowledge :)
