I would say your assessment is correct. It is, at a minimum, a piece of the puzzle.
We need to get rid of the dusting. Micropayments are something that Hive can facilitate since there are no direct transaction costs. Why do you bar that feature from comments?
It makes no sense.

The 2-cent threshold is ridiculously high. Everything else is dust compared to the way the DAO has been abused by certain top witnesses, which is why people should look into voting for witnesses from outside the current top 20.

Absolutely.
Pertaining to 2-cent, that is vital to small accounts.
An account with 10 HIVE, each little reward helps to grow the account by a big portion. It is odd to think how important 1 HIVE is, but if your account, is 10, that is a 10% jump.
That can easily come from a number of upvotes on a few comments. But, alas, it is torched.
As for the Witness, many get the impression it is a closed club. It requires the upvotes from a couple whales in particular to get in there.
Hopefully the vote decay will yield different results. We shall see.

It was added to stop farming - it worked in this regard, but we lost commentary too, as people rotate around rewards.
