I think it's a more spread out and fair distribution than 100% to the poster.
I am not sure it is fairer. The commenters didn't create the article, but get earnings from it. This makes sense if no one can reward the comments, but o think people should also vote good comments more often too, and not just the original poster. Showing sone vote appreciation, even if low value has an impact on commenters.
I agree but with the state hive is in right now... won't happen imho.
That why I liked the initiative at first, yet I don't see much people use it anyway.
Thanks for your reply!
I will look into it more, but I think it is more suited to people who don't have enough of their own voting power.
