I have personally made some really good friends by commenting on the platform and it is really a great way to go about building relationships.
This is indeed the most important point that probably needs some consideration by every minnow. I have now over 200 followers. This is all because of me commenting on others posts and upvoting them.
You can earn more curation rewards by upvoting posts of minnow rather than by upvoting the posts of whales.
I agree! Commenting helps build relations on the platform. I know it was through your comment that I got to know you :)
