One option every minnow has to get their comment noticed is to send 2 Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) or 2 Steem to @randowhale with the comment hyperlink in the memo field (this link can be found by checking the address bar of your comment after you open it from your comment feed), for a chance at a decent whale up-vote (between 0.5% and 2.5% whale up-vote, which can be over a $5 up-vote).

More on this here.
