RE: The Comment Reward-Pool thing, and some DATA.... oh - and FORK 17.1
I'm gonna go on a limb and ask: Do you think people are using comments for conversations and would this conversation element account for the numbers. Likewise there are some posts that will list a variety of comments to vote for. For example, there's some bitshares post that asks people to vote for their favorite UIA. Then they list about a dozen UIA's for people to vote on. I think the biggest factor is the Conversation Element. Even this post for and example. Posts in Steemit perhaps are becoming like Facebook posts where someone says, "I need a good book to read. Go!" Then 120 comments follow with book suggestions, bits, and so on.
So is there a way of measuring posts that carry such engagement via comments.
Of course, people communicate in the comment section, it is not the users I am afraid of but sharks gaming the system. I think we can move forward without separating the rewardpool and bring the subject back at a later time.
More, customisable, feeds would help. Users could get alerts of interesting conversations by following a selection of active comment writers. Comment bots could then just be a nuisance to be ignored.
