RE: Steemers won't waste their votes on comments … voting power is money, voting on comments doesn’t make money.
Curation reward (reward for voting) is reduced in the first 30 minutes to make people actually read the post before voting. So, being first to vote is no longer important. Before the reputation system this week, the user WANG would post first comment in every IntroduceYourself post. This was precieved as his "playing the system" on comment posting (it is debatable). His rating is low (because of downvoting) and his comments are mainly excluded from the display due to this.
Good info. See? you earned that vote.
You mean in the first 30 min after its publication ? It make sense for the people reading the "news" section but all the others will continue to click on upvote just based on the title, photo and length of the post.
