Someone correct me if I'm wrong but replies are limited in the comments section?

I just got this error replying to an on going discussion several of us have been having for over half the day.

I haven't seen the whole source code for the Steemit platform yet, but from what it looks like given my coding experience we're limited by our vesting shares in Steemit when it comes to the amount of bandwidth we take up?
If that's really the case, the platform just took the term, "put up or shut up" to a whole new level and I call shenanigans on top of...

I fully understand the need and want for original content but a healthy comments section is original content IMHO.
If I'm wrong could someone please explain and correct me on this one? Without patch notes, it's either run to github and read the comments and code, or just guess as to WTF caused this error to happen. While I have coding experience, I'm sure there are plenty of others out there in Steemit land who do not, but have also seen this same error. If it really is a limit on comments based on a weighted vesting in Steem that's really going to stifle the ability to discuss posts in the comments section but vote bots with lots of SP will be totally unaffected...
