This is great! I habe noticed the comments getting much better too.. infact i now spend just as much time if not more commenting back as i do making posts! Lol.. i never thought that would be the case because when i started (6 months ago) most of my comments were "nice post" or "good work" which were easy to reply to with "thanks" lol..
I wish i wouldve gotten some delegations early on, but earning my way slowly to 500sp to get a slider (without any help) taught me a lot about how to reward people on steemit.. i think the community is only getting stronger and more helpful to the newbies, which will only benefit everyone in the end.. 😊
