RE: What is the Difference between a Post and a Comment.

in #posts8 years ago

you get penalized after 4 original posts a day.

edits do not count as new posts. there was some confusion about this, but it was totally unfounded.

COmments do not count. You can comment as much as you like.

Sort:  

I had hoped for as much.
The rule of thumb would thus be.
Write no more than Four Posts a day. Spend some time on them. Format them well. Do some research. Make it as interesting as possible. It should be original work but links to either images, other sites, or video's are acceptable as long as they are attributed.

Vote no sooner than thirty minutes after a post, since the value of early voting is degraded in order to discourage bots, but after that half hour is passed vote as soon as possible BUT vote only FOUR times a day (at full power) OR vote more times per day(at degraded power) BUT...if you vote more than twenty times a day your vote power will be insignificant BUT if you don't use up all your vote power it will be wasted. (heh...in this case your vote can REALLY be wasted.

Be sure to comment. Comment often. Comments might pay in Curation Rewards. There IS no downside to commenting and there might be significant upside.

Do I have that right?

hmmmmm but what about upvoting your own comments?? upvoting your own posts is automagic.

Comments pay in author rewards, not curation rewards. Theyre voted on and paid just like OPs. To be honest, i have done much better in comments than I have in OPs. Of the 1200 i made in author rewards this week, like 100 has been from original posts.

To be perfectly honest with your level of SP, you don't have to worry about curation rewards. You're not going to get a signficant amount no matter when or how much you vote. What youre saying about voting is a little off, but tbh i wouldnt worry about it.

I usually do tend to upvote my own comments for increased visibility (and as protection against spam downvoters). But with your level of steem power, pretty much who cares. Really nothing you do with voting is even going to be moderately financially signficant until you have 10K SP or so.
