So, I'm relatively new here. This may be inappropriate, but I really want to know how @miky gets 13 upvotes and $4.25 for this comment. It doesn't seem to be related to the post ("very interesting photo frames"???). It doesn't add anything to the conversation. Who is upvoting it? Why is it rewarded in the 90th %ile for comments?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
@beriberi if you use the eSteem app, you are randomly given these upvotes on your comments. It appears to occur mostly on replies that are longer than one line but I could be wrong. It doesn't seem fair but I think they're trying to encourage the adoption of their mobile app. Hope this helped.
Thanks for some clarification. I don't use the app. But if I did, I could write crap on popular posts and get $$?
I suppose you could, but I'd really hope that you would try to add some value.
I actually got rewarded by it in my last comment to you.
Don't forget, to prevent abuse, comments can also get downvoted/flagged if they are clearly spam.
i followed you
now follow me @elliotjgardner
C'mon, you don't think "picture is very OK" deserves at least 4.25? I'm upvoting it. I think it's worth $10 easily. :-)
And now 14 upvotes! "I've never seen pictures like this!"
