Hmmm. Why not just tip people yourself? Why do we need a service like this for tipping people? I mean if you wanna tip someone, why not just do it yourself. Am I missing something here?

Try it yourself and see.
There's a lot of psychology behind the importance of making something easy such as donating, tipping, or purchasing something. Humans have to overcome loss aversion which is really powerful. If you have to copy someone's name, go to your wallet, paste in their name, select an amount you want to send, login with your active key, double check the amount and the username, and then click send... well, all those extra steps decreases how much will be tipped. also, you now have to find your place again in the list of posts you were reading!
This isn't just my opinion, as I do think it's supported by evidence. By lowering the barrier so much, it makes it quite effortless. They've done similar studies relating to paying with cash verses paying with a credit card verses paying with something you just wave over the receiver. People spend more when it's easy. Same thing applies here.
Ah. Fair enough. I didn't notice you can trigger the tip with just a comment. I thought all the commands work with memos and transfers.
Hi there! I only wanted to mention that also the issue for me is loading wallet - I have so many transactions that it freezes my webbrowser for few seconds. I hope that steemit devs will change it so the wallet only loads your last transactions, just like comments and replies section. Cheers!
Yeah @poloniex has the same issue. I hope they fix this because it's ridiculously slow for people with a busy wallet! All the best with your app :]
Thanks and be careful with poloniex: www.reddit.com/r/poloniexforum
Sure! I'm not trading with them anymore. I lost my faith in them when they kept my deposit for 3 weeks and allowed me access to it after its value was down more than 50%!
Great post @lukestokes You can suggest to watch "The pain of paying" from professor Dan Ariely from Duke. It is just shows clearly how psicology plays with our minds when we are paying one way or another.
