Recently there has been a push in rewarding comments more. We want engagement and rewarding genuine comments is a crucial part of this.

Here we will be looking into who is voting on comments the most. By number of votes but also by votes weight. Data on voting on own comments, self voting will also be presented.

Making a meaningful comment on other people’s post can go a long way. Pro tip for newbies: Post a little, comment a lot.

One of the cons of the HF22/21, the curve and 50/50 split is that comment rewards are being hit. Let’s see how is comment voting doing these days. Who is voting/rewarding comments the most?

The period that we will be looking at is May 1 till May 23, 2020

Number of comments votes per day

Here is the chart for the number of comments votes per day.

On average there is a 3616 comments votes per day in the period analyzed. For comparison there is more than 200k votes daily in total. A small share of votes goes on comments.

The overall trend seems to be stable not going much up or down.

Top Comments voters by number of votes

Here is the chart for the top comments’ voters by number of votes.

The @adm account is on the top with 1547 comment votes in the period. Looks like this account is connected with @hivewatchers and its voting their comments, as a part of the fighting spam. The @sc-fund is on the second place and next comes @hivebuzz.

Self votes are excluded from the numbers above.

Here is a chart for accounts that voted their own comments the most in the period.

The @joebboy is taking the unpopular no.1 place here, followed by @olumzy and @entropia. Although these accounts seems to not be holding some significant amount of stake.

Top Comments voters by votes weights

The number of votes doesn’t tell the whole story, since the vote weight is important as well. Votes coming from account with 100HP and with 1M HP are not exactly the same 😊.

Here is the chart for the top comments’ voters by votes weight.

Note: The values for the weight are technical parameter, not HP. It should be looked as indicator.

The @adm account comes on the top here with a significant difference. As mentioned above it is a part of the @hivewatchers initiative. On the second place is the @nrg account followed by the @mmmmkkkk311. Some others well know community members on the list as well.

The chart above is the most telling who is rewarding comments the most.
Great job from the accounts above!

The chart for the top self voters by votes weight looks like this.

The no.1 in this unpopular ranking is the @brazilians account, followed by @xels and @nulledgh0st.
Not a large stakeholders, but still, not cool. Guys you can do better than this 😊.

All the best
