Very smart question. Most people just look at the charts and the conclusion.

The intention was to make it about root posts, but I forgot to filter. Luckily the comment from @bacchist alerted me to my mistake, and the charts are now up to date.

Great critical thinking. I'm following you now.

I wouldnt find that analysis interesting though :) but nevermind me...

From the whitepaper:

One of the primary goals of Steem's reward system is to produce the best discussions on the internet

That's why I find that interesting.
I don't see good comments being rewarded

Good discussion requires back and forth posting. When you reply to someone else they get 50% of any payout you receive in that thread [...]

This hasn't been implemented yet, or I don't understand it right ...

Until then it would be nice to see, why and how comments get a reward.
Especially from whales.
