The EIP definitely deincentivizes upvoting comments. I stopped after the fork. Voting comments is basically guaranteeing a 50% penalty on vote value...why wouldn’t I save it and try to maximize my earnings by using that power to vote on a post that is at (or I believe will be at) threshold?

Now, that is selfish and only “in it for the money,” but hey, people respond to incentives! Of course I’m going to try and act in my own rational self-interest, otherwise I would be betraying my role as a market participant.

I try (not always great about it though) to give SE tokens instead. I mean, I truly appreciate interaction and want to reward it...not sure if it’s a fair swap, but I didn’t make the rules.
