So What if im Based on comments  Because My Account Is New

Awesome, let's visit my blog @alirezanatasya :)
If you like my blog, give me Vote back please, Thanks..

You can tell people to stop at red ligths. But you can not forbid them from taking a shortcut. What I mean is that you can ask people but unless its enforced, its people choice and its their right to take advantage of their investment.

Alright, I'll do this - however as long as we have people like bernie, grumpycat, haejin and others constantly self voting their comments it feels a little pointless :(

I will not be Declining any comment rewards. 
That is my opinion and I have the right to it.
My  Preferences into Steemit rewards are as follow.
For Blog post rewards: 
 ► Power Up 100%.
Comment post rewards I have set it in the following:
 ► Default at 50 % SBD, and 50 % SP.

It's the bread and butter of many whales. I doubt they'll do it.

If the honchos in power, the CEO(s), would set this example things could slowly but surely become better rather than a sloppy $500 .self upvote on a comment, for the sake of being seen.

That sounds resonable but I don't think that many whales will ever do that.Selfupvoting is harming for the community but possibility of being seen almost anywhere you want is very tempting and if their SP is really high they will earn quite a bit.I know this kind of behaviour isn't really kind for the community but "there is never enough money".I would love to see whales helping community but we can't really hate on them since it's their SP.However I hope we will see much more whales thinking about our community in the future.Interesting initiative @noisy

a very important information, thank you very much @noisy, the article you created is very useful for many people.

This would really help the community.It would really bring or put more Steem in the rewards pool.

I just checked this out shared by @drakos ie https://steemit.com/payout_comments and damn,these upcoming payments are insane ....it is money i even never dream of making in a post.The highest moneyci made in a post has been 60$ and that was 4 months ago!

If all whales could decline their comment payments and instead upvote minnow posta or newbie comments,that would help some minmows.

I have to admit that in my first 4 months i had generous comment voters who helped me earn some money and reputation grow.This small money like 2..4 or 5$ in  a minnow's comments is really great money as most of their posts earn consistent 0.00$s!.

I also think the flag wars are draining the reawards pool! The two whales fighting each other use so much voting power just in the name of proving the other wrong! 

This continues for long periods hence draining the rewards pool.IMo its better to upvote other posts to cover the post that is deemed bad to Steemit!

If more people upvote on a great post,the bad post will obviously be pushed down below....or make a few downvotes and massively upvote great content.

Well said !
I like when I see ppl specially (whales) care about supporting minnows. 
It makes more sense to be here on the platform .

**I wish there were more people who care for the good of the community.**
@Noisy, You are still just a dolphin, but your thoughts are whale size.
I'm just a miserable plankton, but I have long since abandoned self-voting. I will find it much better when the value of my words is determined by other people. And if I on Steemit ceases to be unknown, then it's time to decline Payouts for the comments. *(I do not have to set this feature for the time being. My comments are mostly not rewarded. ;) )*
The question is whether the investments are important for whales, and not just for them. If they want to care for her or are indifferent to her. **Great responsibility also attaches to great influence.** But that does not mean that without much influence everything is allowed.

Two ways to become powerful on Steemit and anything in life. You either have lots of money or lots of influence.

If you have both, you are unstoppable. 

If you think about it, there are whales out there that help minnows if their content is really good. I've been helped out by certain whales which is amazing. Some are generous and some are not, but it's fine as long as you produce great content!

@noisy

Great post and interesting idea but clearly from the comments not everyone is on the same page.

As a minnow in this community, I want say some of our opinion. Please vote our comments on your post, if you think it is good enough. 
You guys should how much that mean to us. People who do not have enough money or power. We just can't make much even with our post. It is really encouraging for us. We become very happy, even 0.01 cent upvote. It really means huge to us. I know, this post is for whales. Sorry to put my nose in your business.Ohhh...another thing, please at least reply to our comment. Most of you, do not even see our comment, or just ignore them. 
Giving an upvote and a reply, is something like, we have earned some big things.
Thanks...to the people, who are really concern about us. Best wishes from bottom of our heart.

I think whales and other larger players could set a better example. Steemit is still small and we need to encourage the minnows so it grows. I see plenty give themselves a multi-dollar vote on posts when they are guaranteed to make far more anyway. Share the votes around. I very rarely self vote so I have more voting power for others.

Of course there are people really milking the system, but we are not obliged to emulate them. 

I think some people voting on comments 'for visibility' is not always a valid excuse. A smaller vote will often do the job. Others will vote in the comment of it's good.

Let's make steemit the place we want it to be. Greed could kill it.

Dear whoever, don't expect of others to just follow your good example when you either don't have comparable amount of SP or is already using your voting power on something else anyway.
Show me you're flagging people who self-upvote their comment too much and I might start considering the same.

good point @noisy - would be a beginning - to saying generally a must for any whale comment but a useful approach. I have no issue with some whales to up vote their comments but all has to be handled with a fair view on the community mechanism - but who am I to give advise on this :-) - great post thinking of the entire pot of users - thanks!

Nie wiedziałem że jest taka opcja, przekonałeś mnie by wyłączyć upvote komentarzy bo i tak z niej nie korzystam, jedynie dawałem sobie upvote przy poście ale nie w komentarzu. Oczywiście innych posty też upvotuje.

This is one of the best advice being given to whales, I hope they accept for those above 100,000k SP. And thanks for always wanting to help the minnows grow
