Some people may have caught on that I'm working on making my comment section as engaging as possible. It's pretty hard to get around to reply/upvote 100 comments+ but I'm setting things up to be able to do so in the future.
One thing I don't do anymore is sporadically upvote comments shortly after I publish my article. I have fallen prey, like many people, to constantly refresh my article to know how much $ it made and what people are saying about it.
So I have stopped doing that. It's really an unproductive activity.
It's profitable for me to upvote the comment section of my blog
One thing many people might not know is that when I upvote your comment under my post, even if it's only a $1(about 8%), I'm making a curation reward on the upvote I'm making (especially if I'm the only one voting).
To maximize my profits, I must wait past the 30 minutes treshold. That's why I usually wait until the next day to go over last days post...so that I can do that in batch.
But someone caught onto that and started frontrunning my comment section by voting the best comments.
You, sir, are a genius.
Since the amount of competition on comments upvote is very low, he is in some way guaranteed to make maximum rewards since he/she knows I will be upvoting afterward (sometimes 20hours later).
That person also provide a great service to me. There is a lot of garbage comments that try to take advantage of the fact that I'm upvoting the comment section. By having that person upvoting the best stuff, it helps me sift through the garbage faster.
Conclusion
Don't hesitate to front run my comment section. I'll be happy to upvote behind you and maybe even get curious enough to follow your blog 😉
