RE: Three Reasons Why You Should Be Up-voting Comments On Your Posts
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
"When you upvote comments in your posts, you and the commenter will earn on the tribal tags you added if you have a stake in them. So unlike a comment in a random post you like, where you only earn curation rewards on one or two tags, you are earning on all the tags you used if you are staking them."
I don't think that's quite how it works, actually... curation is rewarded with HIVE and author rewards are paid in the token of the platform used by the upvoter. But you won't automatically earn all the tokens you're tagging.
Post Example: you publish on #LeoFinance and someone upvotes it on #ProofOfBrain, then you will receive POB tokens for their upvote. Then someone else upvotes it on Peakd, you will get HIVE tokens that time.
Comment Example: When a reader leaves a comment, they become the AUTHOR... so then they will be rewarded in the token of the platform YOU use to upvote their comment. So they could leave a comment on LeoFinance and you upvote it on #ClickTrackProfit, they will be rewarded in CTP tokens.
I'm pretty sure the upvotes occur on the different tribes too. Like here, your comment has no LEO or POB showing yet.
Now I will upvote your comment on PeakD.
After giving it a second, I go back to Leofinance and check and sure enough, your comment has a little LEO now.
And over at Proofofbrain you have a little POB.

Hmm... it does seem to be spread out for comments, you're right. That's part of the problem with onboarding and increased engagement: it isn't exactly clear how these things work. I have yet to find one explanation that covers everything succinctly, especially when you get into things like vote weight multipliers... but even something as simple as curation and author rewards are ambiguous and elusive. If we lose, that's why.

I totally agree. There is so much to learn to make it here and it is almost all by chance that you find stuff out.
