Makes cents... See what I did there ;)

The big money seems to be in the posts and not the comments. I thought it was obvious, but since this post is here I guess it wasn't.

You'll make more with your own posts than comments since the comment section can get pretty over run and it would be hard to pick you out of the crowd. If you're writing posts that are focused towards a huge niche or majority, you're more likely to get an upvote from whales.

People get bored pretty quick, so reading comments probably isn't their thing. They're read your post, but skim over the comments if they even make it to them lol :D
