RE: The virtuous cycle of upvoting your comment section...
Wow, that sounds great!!
Just by looking around on the posts and comments it seems to me like the financial aspect somehow brings out proper engaging and interesting discussions.
Funny, they sometimes say money brings out the worst in people but i feel like that is not the case on steemit.
Admittedly, i've only been a member for a week. So i don't have a complete picture.
It's both ways to be honest. We get a lot of incredible content that people would not have produced if they did not get paid for it, so it is definitely a big incentive for people to engage and produce. However, we also get a lot of spam , and popular authors can often get 50+ spam comments like "please follow and upvote me..." on each post hoping to score a few cents. So it's a double-edged sword.
That's too bad, i don't see an easy solution for the large amount of spam comments except flagging them.. It's difficult to change someones' mindset.
Wish those people (those that spam) could see that they could actually enjoy making posts, sharing their thoughts and getting rewarded for their valuable input.
Well, the easiest way to get rid of them is to just ignore or downvote them. I don't think anyone wants to spend their day copy-pasting a message if they don't get paid for it. The problem is that some people for some reason upvote them..
