Weird that it seems the common idea is the blogging part is the least important or obsolete or whatever.
It doesn't create many transactions.
This might be interesting for you to see the blocks. SL is Splinterlands.

Blogging and communities in my opinion are key to generating successful applications.
That's a cool little... thing. How important are transactions vs size of transactions? I mean, one could conceivably, as they have in the past, made innumerable transactions through bot action in the comments for nothing other than spam reasons
Well, this is what is important with transactions, isn't it? What it carries matters. Those SL ones are largely bots too, but what they are doing is playing the game using custom JSONs - this means that they are doing something "useful" and potentially earning, renting, etc - whereas the spam comments are just filler, doing nothing at all.
