As a student of psychology, i was taught that a behavior is likely to occur again if that behavior receives a reward (positive reward). So now am asking this question based on my own observation here on steemit, which is a better reward, an upvote or a good comment.
This is an open conversation, please air your views...this post is 100% resteemable
This is quite the conundrum for me; I get more enjoyment from comments and conversation yet, if someone were to leave I positive comment without upvoting, it would seem mildly insulting.
I suppose my answer would be that a quality comment is more motivating but only if it's accompanied with an upvote.
well said @departureoflight.
They both should go hand in hand because if one should upvote your post and leaves no comment, it shows no interest. So also when one comments nicely and leaves no vote, it suggests that the person just commented just for the sake of it... i belief that this post should be resteemed 100%. what do you think? many persons ought to engage in this debate.
Absolutely, I'd love to get my folowers input. Resteamed.
I'll be happy with anything at this stage. :) However, for the purpose of this debate, I would say a good comment, because it shows the person has given time to your post and hence provided a good comment. In some cases, some people may only read the first few lines and just Upvote for the sake of it.
"some people may only read the first few lines and just Upvote for the sake of it." that's exactly what happens in most cases. money is not everything. i like your thoughts @br86

STOPProbably upvoting because it shows how many people are interested in your post. I tend to lurk a lot of the time so if someone doesn't comment, I can relate haha
