To most writing comments is not in the system, it's never taught. Also not to all those newcomers who had to achieve their certificate. I wonder why not, but also why commenters aren't upvoted more or perhaps mainly to try out if it stimulates after all a post is a post

couldn't agree more with you!
a post is a post, your own idea and nothing other people can interfere with. but a deep talk and discussion which can broad your view and perspective only can be done in the comments section and sometimes, it's more meaningful than the post itself.

anyway, I remember reading the ethics on steemit when I first joined, I try my best to understand that steemit also a communication or social interaction media, so, it's a bit weird when the posts are more valuable than the comments. Question is, who cares and who will go check the best comments of the day and upvote it? with the "best time to upvote and earn a few" on the FAQ, unless you are a witness with the concern, then we can a make a different.

I have thought it before, if you want the steem price up and give you profits, why the witness sometimes asking for SP delegation so e can get upvoted? or why we need to burn steem while we can take it to the exchange and let those who had a lot of steem in their wallet join the liquid pools somewhere. I mean, everyone can join the LP if they're eligible to do so. But, I dunno, it's just me thinking after having some LP in hive and pancake swap related to splinterlands.

I might not be able to write something meaningful like you do, it's just come accross my mind, I'm a noob about crypto, never tried to cash it out until last month.
