RE: Steemit Etiquette: Is it RUDE to Leave a Comment but NOT Upvote?
Thanks for the comment @fitinfun! As far as I understand, when someone upvotes their own comment, they are basically putting most of the money in their own pocket (75+%). There are some further "timing technicalities" I really don't understand.
I typically upvote (and respond to) engaging comments on my posts close to the beginning... and then I'll revisit 4-5 days later and catch up with any later additions.
For me, the bottom line is "reward content I perceive to add value to the discussion, and/or the site as a whole." I realize that's subjective, of course...
I see you're another Tsu transplant-- welcome to Steemit; lot more potential here!
Oh! Yes, I'm from tsu - I'm so hopeful about this place but I am sure stumbling around.
So do the votes on comments also make the post payout go up?
@fitinfun, the votes on comments operate separately from the post; they have their own payout pool, as I understand it. Sometimes you can make almost as much in rewards from a well-placed comment that inspires discussion, as you can from the primary post. It's rare, but it happens.
OK - thank you - I will keep that in mind :)
