Well sure but then you remove some incentive from minnows to participate because their vote is now useless in most of the cases
And this change means that you de-incentivize commenting and interacting with people
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It is not a useless vote though. Let's say we set the threshold to 0.10 SBD. If each user votes and adds 0.01 to the comment, and the comment gets 10 of these votes - then there will be a payout of 0.10.
This assumes people would be more willing to vote on comments after the change.
I've been upvoting comments under my posts almost since the day I joined, which means my initial votes were way below the threshold. It's not a problem anymore now, obviously, but the change would force me to use a lot more VP if I want to guarantee that a comment I appreciate gets anything for it. I rarely see more than 1 or 2 people upvoting a comment. If not at least one of the is a dolphin or voting with 100%, there will be no payout and people have wasted their VP.
I get where you're coming from with your proposal. But imo, it would accelerate the death of this platform. Spammers have to be dealt with (I flag them under my posts all the time), but not at the cost of hurting minnows.
