RE: Commenting VS. Creating Content (For Minnows - Is this the Question or Answer?
Very interesting. I've been on Steemit for about a month, and am still pretty clueless about how to get it moving.
I've definitely seen the random responses to posts: nothing on what I think is a really deep, well-written post and lots of votes (and $$) on short, throw-away posts.
On the other hand I haven't put much time and effort into networking, so maybe I need to do more of that.
Thanks for the ideas :)

There are certainly many posts which appear to have no rhyme or reason for justifyabl payouts.. Those are typically the selfish Steemit old-timers (whales) that stick to their tight know group and upvote each other on 1 word comments to try and camoflauge what they are doing. There are people such as @berniesanders who target them to down vote their rewards for abusing the system -
I couldn't recommend more than to NETWORK - that's what Steemit is all about - a Social Network - Choose who you follow wisely and update the list so you don't lose track of the people that write posts to interact and write about what you would like to read about. Thanks for adding to the discussion of this post -
Lastly - if possible try to use the eSteem app on your phone to comment as opposed to a laptop or desktop - and real those $.22 free upvote rewards that are typically guaranteed ')
