I completely agree with this. It's this disparity that can harm the space in the mid to long term. Redistribution of power is what HF19 was intended to do, and in some ways it did. Smaller players saw a bit boost in their earnings. But, it also diminished the incentive to engage with upvoting others.

As for earning dust, it really is about a long term investment, and if we slowly gain people who engage with us through comments and vice versa it's absolutely worth it. I agree with you there, absolutely.
