RE: Understanding Potential Rewards

in #steemithelp7 years ago

I think I understand what you've illustrated here. Thanks! But I have questions about what constitutes author and curation rewards with regard to comments.

If I someone comments on my post and I upvote it does that person get an author or a curation reward.

if i comment on the comment and someone upvotes it do I get an author or a curation reward? What about the person who upvoted the comment?

If I comment on someone else's post and it gets upvoted is that an author or a curation reward?

Where upvoted comments fit into the equation has been puzzling me since I joined.

Sort:  

the answer is YES!

your comment is also a post! and the calculation will be (50% / 50%)

  • The person who wrote the comment/post is the author and gets author rewards,
  • The person who upvoted a post/comments is a curator and will receive curation rewards

So really it's about writing vs upvoting and has nothing to do with who wrote the original post. I think that's where I was getting confused, e.g. if I comment here and it is upvoted 0.01 that is exactly the same as if I commented on my post and the comment got 0.01. Is that correct?

yes, you are correct!

if you are more capable of commenting those generous steemians who upvoted all there commenters, you might get lots of potential rewards in commenting rather than creating your own post.

and this was intended to post less and comment more and stop spamming

Thanks for that explanation. I am doing a bit of both in these early days although the balance of my time is going to commenting. Sounds like I'm on the right path! 😊
