Glad that you touched upon this! Actually, for me, the comments are the most rewarding part of this experience. It's so great to read what others have to say on your subject, as well as giving comments too. I'm usually the-long-comment type of person, I could improve my brevity. :D
Take a dip in the comment section, Captain! :)

Ah this is definitely an important conversation to have @captainbob. Ever since I got my slider I've been sharing a standard set vote to those who leave a legitimate comment. A "legitimate comment" IMO is simply sharing something specific about the video OR something thoughtful, personal, or entertaining. Nothing crazy, just something that shows you care and aren't just in it for the upvote. Then for those special comments I always upvote with 100% power because I believe those are the interactions that really breath life into your posts! 

Congratulations @captainbob, this post is the fifth most rewarded post (based on pending payouts) in the last 12 hours written by a Superuser account holder (accounts that hold between 1 and 10 Mega Vests). The total number of posts by Superuser account holders during this period was 1742 and the total pending payments to posts in this category was $11656.64.

As always great video and great advice. Keep them coming sir

Its a good thing for the viewers or follower to get something from their author because they are spending time to write the comment on  your post.

What a great post.  Times like these are when I I really wish we could upvote past the 7 day mark.  

I am still learning about the platform, but I started paying more attention to comments and voting power after a Steem Meetup where I met a few more experianced Steemians and got some great advice.  Anyway, I love how you presented the material in a clear, concise way.  I'm new to DTube myself and have a lot to learn, but certainly look forward to checking out some of your more current posts so I can upvote accordingly.

I appreciate this because for the first month all I did was comment and interact with the people I followed. I earned 10 sbd and it lit a fire under me that you would not believe. I fell in love with the platform. Once I started posting it was game over. It all started with comments and the encouragement of the people who posted on steemit. i.e. @drkent was instrumental to my motivation. No pun intended lol.

Thank friend for your post

I don't have many comments, but I do vote on any one that I get ;)  heh heh   cuz any comments for me is exciting.

This really inspire me and that I should give more time to dig in to the posts and comments.

It is always a two way thing that interaction benefits both the author and the readers/ commentors.

We always learn thing through communication between two channel.

Thanks for this tip.

It's hard to manage voting power, as it is impossible to guess what will be coming.
It is frustrating to see an awesome post without having voting power.
Thanks for your video.

great post. i like. plz follow back.

Haha, I also look slightly into who's commenting.  I normally don't upvote the spammers and just let them be.

It was @paulag who told me some weeks ago that's it's very important to have good curators. And that's why I agree with you that good comments deserve some love as well.
That tip of going through your comments and separating what the valuable ones are is very good and I will try that out. But usually I interact very fast with the people commenting my videos. I should probably wait a little longer.
Since I have the slider I also started upvoting comments. Just a little symbolic amount but my true appreciation to a very good comment comes with the answer and sometimes the discussion that starts with it.

Can't thank you enough Skipper. The gift of your experience is invaluable. I checked out seem.supply quickly yesterday, there's some valuable information there for sure. Couldn't quite figure out the upvoting power works but I'll dig back into it again today.

I have no understanding of voting power. It's an area I need to learn.

It took me MONTHS before my posts broke $1 but my comments were getting attention and earning much more than my content.
It's a huge part of community building. A part of what I call the ***3 C's: Content, COMMENTS, Curation.***

I will to try.

I'm looking forward to the day I finally get a slider. At this point, I spend as much time as I can supporting the comments because my vote is always worth 100% so I'll give as much love as I can but when you have more selective power you can really support the people that influence you the most. It's a great way to show your appreciation and connect more deeply with people.
Comments ftw! 🧡

Thanks for sharing us to book our comment n respective awaiting for ur response

Yeah I always try to reserve about 10% of a vote for all comments. Interestingly enough, I know some people upvote their own comment just so it gets seen so that's also something to keep in mind. Great video as always!

Congratulations, your post received one of the top 10 most powerful upvotes in the last 12 hours. You received an upvote from @dtube valued at 141.43 SBD, based on the pending payout at the time the data was extracted.

used to cassettes had. now is the phone mp3.

This is something I have been working on. I feel like I am getting better at it and totally agree some votes should go to the comment section. It's such a difficult balancing act between content and comments. Hopefully I find my voting groove soon. 

Awesome dtube daily post i like this post and i excited to see next post
