I'm yet to see a comment earn more than the post it is linked to for providing additional context or opinion; that isn't charged by a self-vote army, or some unscrupulous vote trading. That would be neat to see. Perhaps the "value" of all comments on a post relative to the actual post itself would be an interesting metric to show true engagement.

i.e post is $1.00, value of votes for comments is 0.20c, votes are from other parties that are not the post author or comment-leaver. That could have an engagement score of 20%, or something. Just thinking out aloud. :)

Regarding the "parrot": It's a chicken! The pet of my soon to be mother in law. It is named "Special". It once tried to wander into a pre-heating oven on its own accord. She's a silly chicken.
