RE: Whales, please consider declining all comment rewards by default (in settings). 5 reasons to do that!
This would really help the community.It would really bring or put more Steem in the rewards pool.
I just checked this out shared by @drakos ie https://steemit.com/payout_comments and damn,these upcoming payments are insane ....it is money i even never dream of making in a post.The highest moneyci made in a post has been 60$ and that was 4 months ago!
If all whales could decline their comment payments and instead upvote minnow posta or newbie comments,that would help some minmows.
I have to admit that in my first 4 months i had generous comment voters who helped me earn some money and reputation grow.This small money like 2..4 or 5$ in a minnow's comments is really great money as most of their posts earn consistent 0.00$s!.
I also think the flag wars are draining the reawards pool! The two whales fighting each other use so much voting power just in the name of proving the other wrong!
This continues for long periods hence draining the rewards pool.IMo its better to upvote other posts to cover the post that is deemed bad to Steemit!
If more people upvote on a great post,the bad post will obviously be pushed down below....or make a few downvotes and massively upvote great content.
