I hope the reduction in vote value doesn't have a knock on effect on engagement due to comments receiving less votes.
More flags is the likeliest thing to change in my behavior.

Being below the dust value I'm used to appreciating my commenters by going to their blog and upvoting what I like there. I haven't attracted any pure shit posters that follow me and contribute to my post so business as usual for a small fry such as I...
I don't think the true engagers will be dissuaded by a reduction in votes in their comments as that's not the motivation. I don't chat people up and kiss ass. It's pretty transparent when commenters have an ulterior motive...

Yes that's fair enough, comments shouldn't be left for the chance of a vote, and the possible reduction in comment votes may lead people to improve them, or say nothing. Both work for me :)
i used to comment for votes now i don't comment because i don't want people to think i'm just there for votes lol
I didn't think you were commenting on my posts for 2 cents, and thought it was mainly to give me some shit, or occasional praise :)
lol not your posts, just the ones that give 3c and up
Haha, I think you're over thinking! 🤔

Based on your excellent advice, I have decided to give less votes to comments, starting now 🤪
That's the power of quality engagement at work! Picard out 🖖

I rarely comment just to receive a vote on it ;) I can't speak for the smaller fishes.
I think maybe I will do what other people are saying save upvotes for exceptional comments (raise the bar) or maybe consider their SP and engagement.
The bigger sp holders who vote on my posts are already getting a double curation boost.
Another idea is to go and vote their active post instead of their comment.
Actually that gets me thinking, for people who don't really post often, maybe they can designate a comment to reward upvote instead.

Starting out, a decent comment can earn more than a post - that was true when I arrived anyway.
Agreed on raising the comment quality bar being a possibility as folks 'fight' over what comments are getting that vote.
I notice SBI voting for folks comments when they haven't chucked out a post in a couple of days, and I may go do the same at times if i see votes on my posts without a comment or a fresh post on their part.
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. Oh look, here is a comment I want to upvote... nah, that's a waste. :)
My days of focusing on growing the community so they can break it might be over.
Comment voting will 99% stop 🤷🏼♂️🤣

Could happen, in which case, I might start voting my own comments :D
Oh Oh haha

I'm concerned about engagement for sure. Unless behavior changes greatly the small account will struggle even more in my opinion. If we had enough people reading and engaging I think it would work out fine, with a tiny community... We will have to see.
