I've never really "sought" followers, they come along or not; I'd certainly not be interested in followers that came along for reward though. People see a large stake and think a few shit comments will gain them something from me but they would be mistaken. I'm also disinclined to foster and nurture those types of people into "good followers." People have to show passion, personality and effort if they are to get any reward from me, and they need to do it consistently. I'm also not about to support those who extract all their rewards and don't power up any.

I guess on Hive large stakes will always attract extractors, rewards farmers and all kind of people interested more in the rewards than the content. The only way to avoid that would be not to upvote comments, but this would nullify one of the best part of Hive, i.e. rewarding meaningful and sincere engagement... so I'd keep going as you always did, without changing anything. I always find your posts full of "real" comments, so it looks like your way of curating comments has already proved to be extremely valid.
I enjoy upvoting comments, in fact a whiile back I started to upvote comments with greater percentages but only with those who I have relationships or who add the three important elements of passion, personality and effort. So yeah, I agree with the below line you wrote.
Yep, I appreciate those "real comments" probably more than the people leaving them realise. Some are lazy in their responses and I see that clearly, but in the main most who comment on my posts are good folks.
